I looked at you this morning with your eyebrows frumped up together in a knot, looking so serious and baffled. In your eyes I could see a pain I have always wanted to ease, and also a determination that has brought you where you are today.
Reminiscing each moment of the past month... all the stress, the jokes that made us laugh once more, the healthy lunches and the time spent... true, all those make me smile, but to see you grow each day, to prove to everyone what you are capable of and who you are and what kind of heart you have - strong amidst challenges, humble in criticism, understanding in every way... that is whay makes me proud.
It is once again nearing a last day of sorts... and though you never listen to me when I say "I believe in you", I want you to know that I believe in you...
Tomorrow when I sit there in that conference room, watching you stand infront of everybody... my heart will exclaim with pride "that is my shoti!" I hope someday you can see what everyone sees in you.
