Parents of seniors at our school can buy a special ad in the yearbook to say whatever they want to their graduating child. Here is what Mike wrote to his daughter. Warning: It may do the same to your eyes that it did to mine!

I can hardly believe that it's time to write this letter to you. Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday that your mom and I were bringing you home from the hospital in that little pink outfit. And now you are a beautiful young lady, ready to enter a new chapter in your life. You know how sentimental your daddy is about you, and just writing this causes my eyes to get a little blurry.
Although you are independent at times, you still have a heart for us and you show it. I love to get my hugs from you and hope they will never stop. We are so proud of the way you have used your talents for others. For so many years you have unselfishly worked in the nursery at church and the little kids have loved you too. It does my heart good to hear you singing in your room as you have done since you were very small. It brings joy to our home to know that you have a song in your heart that has made you who you are.
One day there will be another man in your life besides me. It is my prayer that he will be a man after God's own heart. If he is, then he will treat you as he should because he will be seeking wisdom from above. So be praying for him even now, as your mom and I are. Accept none other than God's best for you. If he is praying that way also, you will find each other, and you will be sure.
We love you. You and your brother are the joys of our heart. We would not trade you in for anyone else. We already have the best there is.
Much love always & forever,
Dad and Mom
