I’m feeling teary right now, after it’s all done,

The pictures of you bring a lump to my throat.

My chest feels tight and it’s hard to breathe,

But my words to you have yet to be wrote.

How can I find the best way to let you know?

What do I say to make you see and understand,

How so very proud I am of all you do?

And how you no longer need me to hold your hand.

You’re beautiful and smart, filled with wit and sass!

You make me smile and “like me best when I’m tired!”

You’re not afraid to be yourself, to speak your own truth,

Your fearlessness is something I’ve always admired!

We laugh together and cry together,

You’re both my baby and best friend!

Wherever you are and whatever you do,

I will be here for you until the end!

Graduating does not only signify the end,

It presents the gift of a new beginning!

Your graduation marks a great achievement,

So move forward proud and grinning!!

Oh my dear dear daughter I love you so,

So much more than you can ever conceive of!

I cherish every moment I’ve had with you,

Good or bad, you’ll forever be my love💘!

(If the first photo looks weird because of the hand on her shoulder, it is because I cropped her boyfriend out of the photo, as I don’t have permission to post his photo on here!)

To help with research and treatment for Trigeminal Neuralgia please go to http://www.tnnme.com (Trigeminal Neuralgia and Me) to sign a petition to have the World Health Organization (WHO) add Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) to their “Health Topic List”!

Hopefully one day I’ll get it right, or at least have fun, while about it I write!!
