Dear baby sister,

Last week you graduated from high school. 

I am so, so proud of you. For 12 years, you have persevered through tests, exams, studies, classes, teachers, friend drama, boys, stress, and much, much more. I have watched you grow into a beautiful, talented, gracious, and well-rounded young lady. You are so loved and admired, and everything you touch turns to gold. You are inspring to me in so many ways, and I just wanted you to know that I am bursting with pride and love for you. 

Happy graduation, dearest!
