I don’t even know where to begin, but first of all, thank you. For everything you’ve done, for every step you took that allowed me to be here today. I know that, from where you are, you might already know this, but I want to say it out loud: you are important to me.
I hope you’re proud of me. I’m trying, you know? Trying to be a better person, trying to honor the life you’ve given me. If you have any guidance, any little push, I’m open to listening (and I promise to try not to ignore the signs this time!).
Oh, and if you can, please look after me and those around me. Protect my path, just as I seek to honor you in mine. I want you to know that you’ll always have a place in my heart
