I can't believe you're a high school senior. In your last semester of high school no less! I've been so proud to hear about your college acceptance letters and the amazing things you've done.
I know it's hard to believe, but, it wasn't that long ago that I was in your shoes (I know you think I'm super old, but, I'm not, I promise). I remember waiting for the letter from our hometown college. I remember going to the mailbox 300 times a day. For me, that letter never came. And you know what? I'm so glad it didn't.
Leaving home and going to college on my own was the greatest thing I ever did. I know you're nervous about maybe going so far away for school, and you know what? I say DO IT. You will meet people and do things you never thought you could or would. It's so worth it. You're braver than you think.
You're strong. You will do great things in life, of this, I have no doubt. Follow your heart. Don't do something just because everyone else is. There's a big world out there--don't miss your chance to see it. I know you won't--you've never been one to take no for an answer.
I know that no matter what you do, you will succeed and change the world. You and your sister are two of my favorite people in the world. I've been so lucky to watch you two grow into beautiful and lovely young women.
I'm so proud of you.
And yes, I will cry at your high school graduation. I cried at Rachel's--what else would you expect from me?
Love you, P.

So sweet, your niece sounds fantastic... and your niece must be pretty lucky to have an auntie like you :)
Awesome letter, everyone should have a great aunt like you. She's gonna rock in college. :)
Aw this is so sweet. My nieces are 2 and 8, and I know I will just bawl my eyes out when they graduate. You're such a sweet aunt!
