</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i would love to replay the moments of last night over and over again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the minutes as we wait patiently for our oldest to graduate from this school we've loved so much -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rgs is truly a special place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i brought a box of tissues </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
expecting that as the slideshow played i'd tear up watching how much our babies have grown - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thankfully it was alphabetical so by the 'd's' i had used up my tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mrs. lucas takes the stage and begins the ceremony</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with twelve specially chosen awards to be presented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i get comfortable and admire my daughter, proud of who she has become.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the first award is for 'most improved' and i hear zoe's name called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, i'm proud but really didn't think much of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then i hear her name called again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a character award where she was chosen by her classroom peers - wow!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
again, 'excellence in music'- i'm thinking to myself, really? who knew?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then comes the principal's award</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i hear her name again and see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
zoe walk onto the stage </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my eyes begin to water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as quoted from <u>courage</u>, a book presented to her </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>''zoe, </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>there is a term i use to describe you, 'old soul'. you have the kindness, wisdom, intelligence, and compassion of a wise woman rocking in her chair. i know your future is bright. i know i will cross paths with you again. mrs. lucas" </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i am beaming with pride</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
lastly i hear my girls name called once again </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this time for an award that shows just what her moral compass is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i look over at craig and he too has tears in his eyes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's at this defining moment </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when all our self doubts as parents are washed away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we look at each other and know that for all the things we do wrong in our lives</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the bad decisions that have caused us to struggle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that the <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>one</b></span> thing we are doing right</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>most</b></span> important thing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that's raising our children </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the strongest of convictions, morals and values</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that our goodness as people </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and always doing what's right </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
truly does come full circle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as attested to by our daughter who has made us so very, very proud. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>dear daughter,</i><br />
<br />
<i>i felt sad today when i dropped you off at school. i could feel your discomfort, your uneasiness of not knowing where to go, of wanting to hide. i want you to know that i remember feeling the same way when i was your age. i was in between friends- feeling like nobody liked me- that everyone was staring at me- uncomfortable in my own skin- i felt like i didn't fit in. it seems so long ago yet, i see myself in you and i can feel those same feelings all over again and i realize that it's happening to you now. i want to protect you. shield you from those stares (that by the way aren't there but they sure <b>feel</b> like they are, i know they do!). i want so badly for all the hurt and discomfort you feel to soak into my body so that i can carry this burden for you. i can't or i would in a second. what i can do is tell you your time to shine will come and when it does your magic will be revealed.</i><br />
<br />
<i>i read this today quite coincidentally and the words were as if i had spoken them myself so i will quote, but know they are the same thoughts that filled my mind as i drove home after dropping you off. "one day, you'll get out of school and go somewhere besides this small town we're in and you're going to discover that there are groups of people just like you- not that they do what you do or act the way you act, but that they <span style="font-size: large;"><b>refused to change who they are to fit in</b></span> , and that makes them like you. and when you find them, you're going to feel at home."</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>most likely you will leave your childhood friends behind because you no longer have much in common with any of them. you my girl are a different kind of kid. you have a deep, beautiful soul and are older and wiser than your young years. this is a gift you've been given- i believe it runs in the family :) use this gift of yours and it will ground you. it will attract the right kind of friendships- people will gravitate towards you because you are <b>real. </b>continue to hold your head high even when you feel weak...take comfort in the sun, breathe the clean air and remember that this time in your life is fleeting. there are many, many years ahead of you and that is exciting! it's good to dream so dream about travels to India or where ever you may want to go. </i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>i am your mother but i am also a daughter and once a young girl...we have a lot in common you and i. my arms are always open, my ears work perfectly and my many years of being a girl have garnered me 'girl wisdom'...i love you with all my heart.</i><br />

i know where my kids are at all times of the day<br />

i know what they're eating,<br />
i make sure they have what they need,<br />
i know if i'm not with them then they are with someone i trust,<br />
i know if they've scraped their knee,<br />
i know if they need bug spray,<br />
i know that if they're eating all the way up to dinner time then what they're eating is considered part of their dinner.<br />
i know who wants pink, green, blue,<br />
i know when they're lying to me,<br />
i know when they're sad,<br />
i know when they've had an 'ah-haa' moment<br />
i know that 98% of the time they lurvvve each other<br />
and that the other 2% is reserved for a good debate.<br />
i would <span style="font-size: x-large;">most</span> certainly know that if my kids were missing for <b>more</b> than 31 days<br />
that the person responsible for them missing<br />
would be me.<br />
