Dear Kayla,

I was so glad to see you walking up to that stage to recieve one of the most important documents of your life. I've seen you grow and mature right before my own eyes. Your beauty, faith, strength, pride, and joy were something that always showed. I wish Lexi would have been around to see you be so successful and achieving your dreams. You're working so fast towards determing your future and I couldn't be more proud. I'm glad your father was there to share in the pride that every single one of your loved ones had/has for you. It's good to see where your roots are. Just remember that even after tonight, you will have so many great moments to rejoice in, and many more moments that will throw pride and determination your way. You will be thrown struggles that will only help you find a better path toward your future. Keep with you the lessons you learned at Jackson High School, the people that you found faith in, strength in, friendship in, love in and know those people will always remember and love you.

I am one of them.

Forever and ever and always your best friend,
Haylee<3
