To the ones I graduated with,

Now, I may have only spent two years with you all, but it felt like a lifetime (in a good way). All of you hold a very special place in my heart. The time I spent with all of you was amazing and I would never trade it for anything in this world. It has been 8 months since we graduated and since we have all been together and honestly, it has been harder than I thought it would be.

We went from being around people who knew basically everything about us, to people who have to learn everything about us. Not everyone around us now knows how and why we function the way that we do. Being with all of you guys made things so much simpler.

I feel as if the word that best describes our class is, “Love.” The love we have for one another is immense. We truly care about one another and strive to make each other know that they are loved. We truly love one another as brothers and sisters. In fact, we all are brothers and sisters in Christ, so that makes everything better.

On the flip side, I am so proud of all of us. We have all changed so much since we graduated high school. Every single one of you, I am sure, has made an impact on the ones around you. You have made an impression on the people that you now spend all of your days with.

Though we may all be at different points in our lives now, we may have made new friends, and we may not talk to each other as much as we used to, I know that we will never forget each other and the impact we made on each other's lives.

Each and every one of you helped shaped me to be the person who I am today. I am sure we all helped shaped each other. The way we act and talk came a lot from how much time we spent around each other.

We were truly a family, and we still are. Nothing can separate us or break the bond that we all have together. I am sure that whenever we all get together once again that we will pick up like we hadn't missed a bit of each other's lives.

I miss you all. I miss your smiles, laughs, jokes, and hugs. I always felt at home around you guys. I miss the feeling of familiarity of being with you all and the closeness of our high school years.

Maybe now, that we are all spending this time apart, that when we meet up again we will be able to pour into each other's like we never have before. I pray that we all would also continue to grow closer to God and our walk with Him would continue to improve.

I love you all. Never forget that. I will also never regret all the great times I spent with the group of you.

Much love,

Lilly
