well we made it through another phase my emma...
high school can be rough on some mama/daughter relationships,
but i think we did an excellent job!
there were only a few minor bumps in the road...
looking back though i think we can both say
that you have made a lot of really great choices.

you are an intelligent, creative and thorough student.
i love to see you enjoying what you do...
and we know it's not chemistry!
(that is just fine with me)
part of growing up
is finding what you are passionate about.
there's no denying what you excel at,
your amazing grades tell it all.
 a beautiful writer of essays and reports.
brilliant work! 

my butterfly girl,
you have truly grown to be a lovely young lady.
remember all the life lessons you have learned...
because it's almost
time to
fly.
i could not possibly love you more.

little star

last night my baby received her grade 8 diploma.
she's always been a successful student...
but last night her personality was also recognized
and i couldn't be more proud.
she is kindhearted, well behaved, respectful and empathetic.
she is also dependable, honest and mature.
many social challenges have come her way
and she has always stayed true to who she is.
it's sometimes hard being the good girl,
but please don't ever stop
because that is what makes you so special.
i love your beautiful heart.
