Our oldest Abigail Joy is graduating from high school in less than 30 days. I don't know where the time as gone because it sure feels like just yesterday she was my little baby girl. We are very proud of her and excited for what is in store for her. But I can't help thinking often these days, "If only they could just stay little." Letting go is hard for me.
I wrote Abigail a letter as one of her graduation gifts to tell her how much I love her and how much she means to me. I shared with her that someone once wrote that everything they needed to know about life, they learned in kindergarten. Here is my version of that idea that I wrote to Abigail:
1. Read your Bible and pray every day.
Don't forget what is most important in
life and
what your true purpose in life is.
2. Always wash your hands before you
eat.
Take good care of yourself and make
good healthy choices.
3. Always cover your mouth when you
cough.
Take good care of others. Be a good friend and show
love and concern for those around you.
4.
Walk , don't run.
Think things through before you
act. Be safe.
5. Always look both ways before you
cross the street.
Make good smart decisions in life and
have correct
information to base those decisions
on.
6. And finally, memorize your name,
phone number,
and address in case you ever get lost.
Don't ever forget we will always be
the
place you can come home to.
I love you Abigail
Joy!
Congratulations on
your graduation!
