I want to share with you that my kiddo graduated. He's a national merit scholar, and got a full ride plus to his chosen college. He even gets to study overseas. None of us knew that until his name was called. He even kept it from me, his mother who should know everything.
I have shared some of your story with him, and he is touched, and is planning to read your journal.
I hope you got to experience a burst or two of sunshine. Take care Amelia.
