I fell behind in my reading and am just catching up. I wanted to belatedly stop by and say, “Yay, Nigel! Congratulations!”

Dear Nigel, do you know that you are my hero? I’ve always been proud of you, and happy just that you were born, and that we share love for each other. On top of that you work hard to succeed in your young life. I’m using your perseverance example this month as I attend a hard training program to become a ranger at Crater Lake Park, and I think that if you can do what you’ve done, then I can do this! Thank you, dear grandson, and may you be happy!

As your proud grandpa, I’m so very pleased that you were able to attend your graduation! I only wish I could have been there for you, Nigel. I pray that you really get to enjoy your well deserved summer vacation down here with your Dad. Hope there’s a chance I can see you while you’re down here. Enjoy that atomic clock!! I love you, Nigel, and am so happy I can still be around to congratulate you on your great achievement.

Congratulations Nigel and all those who helped shape you! Your mom did an amazing job and you are on a good path. I’m heading to my son’s 5th grade graduation in 1 1/2 hours and I know it will be emotional. He’s been in elementary school for 10 years and heading into middle school next year. This letter is just what I needed to get me through today. Thank you.

Nigel! Wow! I can remember holding you in the hospital just hours after you were born! You have so much to be proud of! I had pneumonia for my 8th grade graduation so by the looks of it you were able to enjoy your graduation much more than I did! I’m so proud to be your AunTasia, and I’m really excited for you to go on to your high school years, because I know high school is where you’ll really be able to take your many interests and talents and just SOAR……I love you!

Nigel, I hope that when you read this and think about all that you have accomplished, you feel happy. And feel proud! And feel confident that no matter what challenges you face in life, you will overcome and succeed. I’m so proud to be your uncle.

Now have a fun summer!
