Two Decades

You've been 2 decades for a bit now but you know... it's better to be late than to never do it! 

Sweet girl,

Lots has happened this past year, huh? You were pretty sure of what you were doing this time last year but shortly after things kind of started not making sense anymore and what you truly believed was the right choice for you, turned out to be not to make any sense.

You know what I love about you? You know when to walk away and you did. You took some time, assessed the situation and you came back stronger. You didn't stick to a plan for the sake of sticking to a plan.

I am incredibly proud of you for doing that. So incredibly proud.

This past year you've grown, you've allowed yourself to stumble, you redirected the course of your ship, and you set sail at a different school with a different major.

You have lots of plans and dreams and you'll make them happen, I'm sure of it. Your emotional growth has been stretched and you've been able to talk through your hearts aches and joys.

You are finding you in the midst of pre-adulthood craziness.
I know adulting is not what you want to do, but you are wading in at the right speed - you've got this girl!

Je t'aime ma belle, A. Don't forget how precious and beautiful you are. I believe in you, your dad believes in you, and most importantly, God believes in you.
