Today…..

My sweet girl…

you graduate high school……

my feelings are mixed……

which is perfectly natural……

and words will never do the feelings justice.

On one hand…..

my heart screams with pride and adoration at the beautiful person you have become….

this picture is so *you*

fun, quirky, silly

On the other hand, I miss my little girl…..

 

You have never been one to take the well worn road. You have always found your own way, and forced us to as well.  But you never ever give up. You have taught me so  much about life, struggle, perseverance, strength, fun and of course, unconditional unrelenting love and devotion.

never ever sweet girl lose your

fun, smile, sweet, funky, unconventional

self.

You are so giving, and self sacrificing. Don’t forget to leave a few pieces for yourself.

Your future is yours for the taking. The art world will never be the same!

You have given us and those you love so much.

It’s time for you to take….. Take the baton and run with it. Take every opportunity offered to you. Don’t rush it. Take each phase, enjoy it,  and the next will come.

I know God has a huge plan for you . He has been preparing you for something. So excited for you to figure out what it is, and discover what lies out there for you. Find what makes you happy. Do not rely on anyone else to do it for you.

As cliché as it is, :::::insert lyrics to My Wish For You, by Rascal Flatts here:::::: these lyrics speak volumes.

I wish so much for you. But mostly I wish for you to love yourself as much as we love you.
