Love

I celebrate your strength and resilience. You faced a rare diagnosis, but this did not tragically define you; instead, you learned how to manage and in doing so, you inspired those who love you.
Love,

You are not alone.

I brag about you to anyone who will listen.

My college advice…
*do your homework
*call your parents sometimes
*tequila is not your friend!
Love,

You have always been my motivation to be a better person.
Love,

Mom, thank you for always saying the perfect thing when I call crying.

You are the person I can be totally real with, you just get me. We can talk about anything and I know you understand, don’t judge, and love me for who I am. Thanks for being my person! Love,

Dad,
I love the way that you always ask if I need anything. Still to this day, you always remember to check if I need anything. When I politely say “no thanks”, you list a few ideas of things I could possibly need like money, shoes, and clothes. Thanks for always being so thoughtful.
