Anna,

When you were born people told us two things: “she’s beautiful” and “time will go faster than you think”. Both are true. No matter how many times we heard it, we didn’t grasp how fast time goes until this year.

We have been blessed and honored to guide you through life, teach you, love you and prepare you for what’s next. There will be moments of sadness as we miss your everyday presence in our home, but there will be many more moments of excitement and pride as we watch you continually put your heart into everything you do. We are so proud of the mature, loving, kind young woman you have become.

It’s time to move on to the next adventure feeling prepared and confident. Reach for the stars and know we’ll be here to cheer you on. And know that we’ll welcome you home, put your favorite meal on the table and get caught up on the details of life any time you want.

Love you always and forever,
Mom and Dad
