| Only a few weeks old here |
I was present the
day you took your first breath and when you learned how to crawl. I watched you
put your bag on your back and walk through the gates on your first day of
school (which I thought was adorable). I stood in the crowd applauding you the
day you were elected a Prefect in Grade 7. I did your hair and waved goodbye
when you climbed out the car for your first social.
I held your hand
on your first day in high school and stood firm next to you in our matching
green dresses. We got to take 2011 by storm together and it felt as though in
just a blink of an eye you sped right through High School, until now, you’re
standing before Mom and I as a beautiful young woman with the whole world laid
at your feet.

| MD 2015 |
2015, what a year
it has been. The final year every girl dreams about…The opportunities that lay
ahead of you and the exciting time of preparing for Matric Dance, It was such a
special time that Mom and I got to share with you (you looked absolutely
stunning). The moment I saw you in that blue dress, I couldn’t help but get
teary eyed (you may be 18 but you’re still my curly haired baby sister) and by
the sounds of things you had a great evening. I know it’s something that you
will always hold in your heart.

| Valediction Evening |
I think it hit me
square In the face when I was sitting next to you at your Valediction, your
headmistress began talking about how far you have all come and at that moment I
realised that you aren’t a little girl anymore and that this is the end of an
era. You’ve done it, you made it through 12 gruelling years of school. Not that
each day was met with sunshine and rainbows but you persevered, held your head
high and you marched on with determination. I am SO proud of you! What I’d like
for you to know dear little sister is this; never stop being who you really
are. Stay the strong, beautiful, intelligent, remarkable young woman that you
are.

| Your first day at PHSG & my last |
You’ve gotten
this far in life with hard work and perseverance, keep
going, you are definitely a force to be reckoned with (Hehe). I want to wish
you all the best of luck for your finals, you’ve got this sis, stay strong,
it’s the home stretch and I know you are going to knock it out of the park
.
Next year will be
the start of something new and exciting “the big wide world”. In everything
that you do remember this, you are the daughter of a King and you are never
alone, you always have a friend in Jesus. Most of all, stay true to yourself,
fight for what you believe in and follow your dreams. “I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me”. Philippians
4:13
Mommy and I are
always here to support you and we love you!
