My Cady(pillar), our CuterBug, our StringBean, I could not be more proud than I am of you and all you’ve accomplished. You’ve worked hard and you have persevered and you’ve made it! Now don’t forget the important things in life. Don’t choose anything that jeopardizes your soul or antagonizes your character! Don’t be entitled. Go at life with humility and hunger! Don’t wait for life to happen to you. Make it happen for you! I know you will always come out on top.
I love you the mostererest! Always and forever, no matter what! Grammy (your Morrie)
