“Look at you. Graduating. Starting a whole new life. You’re so happy, truly, I’ve never seen you look that way before. You have stars in your eyes, and that smile beams so brightly it could replace the sun. And you’ve done this all in your own, I didn’t lift a finger.

So brave, strong, wonderfully resilient.

Half of me is so proud of you for moving forward.

But all of me misses not being able to walk with you.

I promise, I’ll catch up.”

“You did nothing but support me, I only made it this far because you were there for even the lowest of my lows. You cannot say you’ve done nothing when the only person I see out in the crowd is you. Thank you so much for all your support over the years.”
