graduating wishes to a very special young lady

graduating wishes to a very special young lady Here are a few notes I had started to write and realized I need help in putting it all together. I was a nanny to her brother who was also a big part of our life. Then she came along and we felt like a complete family. He parents worked and her mom traveled as well. I became their nanny. Both families would go on vacations together, spend all holidays etc. Michaela is beautiful, (model like) smart. I hope this helps if you need more information please email me. Thank you! Angie We can′t believe how quickly these past seventeen years have gone by. You brighten our lives more than you will ever know. the day you were born. From the moment we held you in our arms; just under two hours after you were born? You were this beautiful blue eye, blond baby girl with adorable dimples! Words can not begin to describe the joy and love we felt then and still do for you. We knew then, that god had given us a second gift, first your brother Sebastian and then you. We thank god every day that your parents happily and selfishly shared your life with us. When you were a baby, it was clear to see that you will become a strong will child. You knew even then what you did and didn′t want. However, when you would get into your strong will moods, I would just give a smile, lowered my eyebrows and you would smile back at me and stop dead in your tracks and do what you were asked to do or not to do. We had a special bond. One very special moment when I felt all your love was as follows. I was taking you and Sebastian to the swimming lesson. Then on the day, you had to take a swimming test in order to go on to the next level. However, you had to put your head under the water and this was not happening in your eyes. You didn′t want to do this. I was seated close to the pool where you were being tested and so I can have full view of your brother Sebastian who was swimming at a different level. I was about 50 -60 feet away from you. I kept assuring you-you will be alright and that I′m here for you and if you don′t wish to do it you didn′t have to. At one point you told the two young girls that were giving the test. ″Can I go give my Nanny a hug first?′ (While crying. that′s when the magical started. I saw you running towards me crying, I ran to towards you swept you all wet and we hugged. When we hugged it was as if our souls touched. I can′t ever and will never forget that feeling. It′s something that happens once in a lifetime it that. You hugged me so tight and kissed me and said: ″ Okay Nanny I′ll do it for you, I love you!″ We were both holding on so tight and crying with joy. Little did I know that there were other moms watching us and started to cry. They told me that wished there was a mirror for me to see the priceless look on your face when we hugged. I enjoyed my days working at school and seeing you around campus and being there to cheer you up when you needed it or just to remind you to get back. When you were a baby, people were so impressed by you using baby sign-language to communicate with me and then speaking Spanish. I always told you I would never let anyone hurt you. One day when I went to pick you up at school, there were a few girls with you and you asked me in front of them ″Nanny, didn′t you say you will hurt anyone that hurts me?″ You looked at the girls and said: ″See!″ Poppy and I have loved every minute we have spent with you and having you n our lives. You are just like a daughter to us and will alway be. I realized you were going to be a person who doesn′t care what others think or feel about you when one day I found you having lunch at a table with the boys. When I asked you why weren′t you eating with the girls you said, The girls are doing this ″I′m not your friend thing and I can′t be bothered over their games″ I was impressed by this. What a proud day! We just couldn’t be happier for you!” Words cannot begin to describe how proud I am of you! am proud of the person you are becoming and we know you will make a difference in this world. n whatever you choose we know you will do your best and will continue to grow along the way. Through the years, I have watched you grow. I Be prepared to make choices. Don′t be scared to share your opinion. This is such an exciting time for you. can′t wait to see what you do and who you become. I know that whatever path you choose to follow, it will be an amazing journey for you and those watching. Treat people with kindness and respect and remember to treat yourself the same way. Look after your body and seek out love and take chances.
