To my Teej:
I am SO unbelievably proud of you for reaching this point. As I sit here writing this, I would be lying if I said that this week didn't bring me buckets of tears. I knew it was coming in the back of my mind. As months turned to weeks and week to days, I still tried to push aside the reality of you graduating. But it's here. And as you walk across that stage at 9 a.m. on Friday morning, I want you to remember something: I love YOU.
This seems obvious, but I want to make sure you remember that. So many people asked me what would happen to us after you graduate and I enter my final year at UCF, and my answer was always the same: nothing. Because if there's anything I've learned from our years together, it's that love ties an unyielding bond between two people.
When you travel to film amazing people and places, that bond stays.
When we are apart for days, weeks, or even months, that bond stays.
As you start this new chapter of life, that bond stays.
From our first photo in my Libra dorm room,
to our first date visiting the Orlando Eye,
to our first and second times working Spirit Splash,
to our days spent playing in the theme parks,
that bond between our hearts has always been so strong, so real, and I have faith that God has a future in store for us. So I go forward celebrating you, and every AMAZING accomplishment these four years has brought.
You inspire me.
You frustrate me.
You guide me.
You confuse me.
You surprise me.
You teach me.
You care for me.
But most of all, you LOVE me. Our relationship is something I never expected from that boy I sat next to my second day of college, but it has been the greatest joy of my life.
Congrats, my special grad. You always have my heart <3
