It's hard to believe this little girl is graduating from high school in two days.. where did the time go? Emily is my only child that did not come with a twin. I have often joked with her that it is because I could only handle one child with the amount of energy she has. What a beautiful young lady she has grown up to be!
Emily, as you begin your journey into adulthood, never forget how special you are! I fought diligently to protect your unique qualities when you were little and oh-so-energetic! I told everyone that you have a special purpose and I was determined that no one would squash the spirit in you. I hope that you will continue to protect it as I have done. Keep your dreams alive and never sacrifice who you are by bending to the ideas of what other people think you ought to be. Emily, I love the way you care for other people around you. When you see someone hurting, you are right there with one of your "nose kisses" to remind that person they are loved, and your hugs are one of the highlights of my life! You are such a beautiful young woman... inside and out! I am so proud to be your mom and I can't wait to see what wonderful things you do next!
Congratulations on your upcoming graduation, sweet girl - I love you, my precious Emmy!
