Things are supposed to get harder and more difficult as you get older, but not this much harder and certainly not this quickly. The pandemic has certainly made the last year a challenging one for you.
Still – you have grown so much, in spite of the adversity. You have missed your friends. You have missed your teachers. You have missed Tae Kwon Do. You have missed swimming lessons. You have missed the hugs. You have missed so, so much … and you smile. You laugh. You work hard on your studies. You are kind. You are authentic. You are nothing short of amazing … and we are so, so proud of you.
Happy birthday, Victoria, my favorite girl in the whole wide world.
