Hurray! Tia and I have made it back to her home town of Waco. For this week, I must share with you a moment that meant a great deal to me. You see, when I became passionate about TOMS shoes, I never thought it would lead me to doing the shim-sham with my niece Zaynah and my grandfather in our week three YouTube video. I had tears of joy while watching it for the first time. When I talked to my father about the video, he brought an interesting point to my attention.

My father was saying how amazing this video is because here is three generations of people having a good time and supporting TOMS. My tears of joy also reflected on how special this moment was with my grandfather. He is the only living grandparent I have left and he came all the way from Iran to attend my college graduation. Unfortunately he left back for Iran on Thursday. I’m sad because I don’t know when will be the next time that i will see him again. I learned before I started my Vagabond journey that I am the only member of our family that he got to see walk the stage. My father came to this country with a student visa and at the time, my grandfather didn’t have his papers together for a green card or visa to attend his graduation.

I am so happy that I got to spend a little bit of time with my family while i was in San Antonio. They are very important to me and I value each and every moment I have with them. Best part of all was my nieces reaction when she saw our vaga-van for the first time! Check out our week three video to get the full effect of what I’m talking about. I have to say, what I do as a Vagabond is a reflection of what my seven year old niece inspires me to do for the children who are in need of our amazing shoes! I’m glad she got to get a peek of my Vagabond experience because one day she too can make an attempt to be the change!

Now I get to go play with Tia’s awesome pug Gus-Gus! Yeah he pretty much rocks! That’s all for now.
