Little Sis

You graduate today
You big girl, you
Five years in college with a double major didn't seem so hard now did it?
Not with what you went through

And are still going through

Wish I could give you something you could really use today
Not a few bucks to spend on groceries
Not a gift card that will just get lost
But a gift of worth.

Today, you rise in victory
It might not feel like a glorious victory
It might feel like you just limped across the finish line
But it's A victory
And it's been awhile since we've had that.

Thanks, Missy, on behalf of all of us
You carried on.
You pushed yourself to the very limit.
You did it.

I am so proud of you.

I can't wait to see how you change the world.
