STACHE

Dear Kr1sta,
It's hard to believe that you are graduat1ng from high school.
I am so very proud of you for many reasons, but one of the most
important is because of the courage you have shown in always standing
for what you thin is nght regardless of what other people may thin ,
and for always be1ng yourself and not at convent1on and society
dictated you to be.
Every course of life has a destination, some high r than
other , but still a defin1te goal to work toward and strive to reach. It is
my hope that all of your dreams and goals become a reality, fOf you
have the potential to become whatever you set your mind to be. To
quote Samuel Johnson, "Life affords no higher p easure than that of
surmount1ng difficulties, pass ng from one step of success to another,
forming new Wishes and eing them gratified."
Than you !Of ma ing hie intere tlng, and fOf all of the
happiness you've brought Into my life. I know we have had our share
of up and downs, and at times life was exasperating, but through it all, I
have loved you always.
Mom
