Tanner,

It is very surreal that we are at this moment preparing for your high school graduation. As everyone says, time flies, and they are so very right! We are going to miss you making fun of us, having crazy conversations and your goodnight hugs.

You spent no time entering this world and that is how you live your life. You make the most of every minute and find joy and energy being with others. You are always on the go and up for a new adventure. We love your laugh and crazy personality. You’ve kept us laughing from your chicken wing run and cowboy boots with gym shorts to teaching us all the new slang.

There are times where you are a little rough around the edges but when you let someone in, they get to see the true you and your softer side. Things don’t always come easy for you, but you work hard for what you want, and it has been a joy to witness your successes. You have grown into a strong, independent, and thoughtful young man. You are a loyal friend and love your family strongly. We love that you live a God centered life and we know He will be there to continue to guide your path. We couldn’t be prouder of the young man you have become, and we’re excited for the next chapter of your life. We love you more than you will ever know!!

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau

We have no doubt you will do exactly what you put your mind to.

Love,
Mom & Dad
