Countdown to graduation…
Dear Ravi,
Although in my mind’s eye, I still see you as that slightly cherub ruddy faced toddler smiling and laughing most of the day, I know you are a man now. You have a beard and are 6’3”!
Forgive your Mom for sometimes still treating you like a little boy. But God knows, these were the happiest times for my heart. It’s not been easy, but it’s been an incredible privilege to be your Mom.
Remember:
Pursue your passion, but keep God first. Always be thankful for your gifts and talents.
Keep your friends. We need friends our entire life — however long that may be.
Keep up your chivalrous ways: hold doors, pull out seats, put a grocery cart back for an elder, help all people. The world is too full of rude, ill-mannered people.
No matter how hard life gets, always keep your sense of humour.
A good cry once in awhile is healthy.
And remember, wherever you roam, home is where your heart is.
Love,
Mom
