I wish my dad could be here to see the great strides I've made since he wrote this card to me seven years ago for my college graduation. He did visit me here when I was a student, so it makes me happy to know that he saw firsthand how happy I am in the place I now call home. Given recent circumstances and my decision to stay in Italy, it could not have been more appropriate for my sister to find this in a box just yesterday among many of the things I left behind in NY.
Dear Amanda-
We are all proud of your accomplishments and your overwhelming desire to enjoy life and people. You bring joy to all those who know you, and a spirit of what it means to be self-confident. You are now ready to conquer life's hurdles, and to do so in a fashion of your own.
Future prosperity, health, wealth, happiness & success--
All our Love,

I love the post! I wasn't surprised at all by what Daddy wrote to you in that card. I am certain that if I took a look at some other cards he wrote for other momentous events, I would read similar things. What he wrote is 100% true about you. We are all very proud of you and love you very much!
I am proud of you too. My eyes are watering. xoxo
