Grace,

I’m not quite sure how it’s possible, but graduation is just weeks away! Somehow that little girl that rode the brown bus out to Abbott for kindergarten is now a young woman, ready to graduate and move on to the next chapter of her life. I know the next part seems like a lot. Moving out is going to be a little scary, but exciting too, and you’re ready. Ready to meet your people. Ready to have more independence. Ready to make more decisions for yourself, and really find out who you want to be. And the best part is, I know you’re going to be amazing! You will do what’s best for you, you will find your people, and you will strive to reach your goals. It won’t always be easy; you will have to be resilient, and push yourself. And you will. Dad and I will always be here for you, for whatever you need. So be brave, do big things, take chances, advocate for yourself, and work hard to achieve your dreams! Keep prioritizing your faith and seeking God’s direction for your life and he will do big things through you. You are an exceptional young woman and we couldn’t be more proud of you!

Love,
Mom and Dad
