As I sit here tonight reflecting on the past 18 years I am grateful - grateful for my two very special daughters! My heart is bursting with pride as we celebrate with our oldest daughter Maddi, as she graduates from high school today. I wanted to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the amazing young lady she has become.
Maddi's kind and caring heart is probably the trait I am most proud of. The goals she sets for herself constantly amaze me and she works towards them with fierce determination, putting in the hours of work necessary to make them come true.
Maddi, congratulations on meeting your goal of running a 1/4 mile in less than 60 seconds and setting a new school record together with your teammates in the 4x400 at State this year.
Congratulations on your many scholastic achievements - to know that you love science and math as much as I do just makes me grin from ear to ear. You will do something amazing in life... of that I am certain!
Creating this simple card was an absolute joy, because as I created it I was able to reflect back on the past and remember the moments of joy, tears, and laughter. Your quirky wit is definitely something you get from your dad - my goodness but you can make me laugh! We are so very proud of you as you head into the next phase of your life. Congratulations once again my sweet girl!!!
TIP: It doesn't take much time at all to create a card for a graduate in your life. Use their school colors as your jump-off point. Apply Be Creative Tape to Solar White cardstock and cut out your numbers before applying glitter and burnishing. "Cap" it off with a mortar board and you are well on your way to congratulating someone special.
