Hey Champ,
I just want to say that I am super proud of you.
You are one of the strongest and brightest young people I know. Every moment I have been fortunate enough to spend with you has been a blessing, and I remain grateful for each one of those memories.
As you grow older, you will discover that life does not always unfold according to our plans. Sometimes things happen exactly as we hope, and sometimes they do not. What matters most is that we continue to act with integrity, kindness and courage regardless of the outcome.
I hope you remain loyal to the people you love, curious about the world around you, and brave enough to form your own views about life.
Wherever life takes you, know that you are remembered fondly, spoken of proudly, and wished well every single day.
You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
With lots of love,
Papa
