A letter to my middle child, "G"

Dear G,

As your college commencement approaches this weekend, I find myself with a mix of emotions.
When you were born, I swear you had a smile on your face. I was going through pictures and in every single one of them, you have the biggest grin ever . You were the happiest baby I have ever seen. Your happiness carried over into childhood. 
You were quite the source of entertainment for all that know you. We started calling you "The Politician" because you wanted to make every one happy. You also knew how to work your parents and every one around you (you still do).  Your brother actually used to call you "President Of The World". 
You have always been so bubbly and kind to others. You have such an engaging personality. 
You always did so well in school. I don't think I ever once had to tell you to do your homework. You always made the Honor Roll. The worst grade you ever received was a C. That only happened once.
You sang in the chorus, played softball, ran track and cheered from the time you were 8, all the way through high school.
We had all of the after prom parties at our house because you were always so responsible.
Being the pleaser that you are, you usually always did as you were told.
Do you have any idea of how proud of you I am? I don't think a mother could ask for any more from a child. We have such a great relationship. I want the world for you. I know how successful you will be. You have great people skills and you are very smart.
I hope you look back on your childhood with fondness, because I sure do. You are not a child anymore. You are a beautiful young lady with your whole life ahead of you. Do not let the world make you cynical. Stay who you are. I love you very much. I am excited for the next chapter of your life.

Love always,
Mom

You liked leopard print even back then

Trying to get laughs even as a baby

You were a baby super model

An exhibitionist even at this age

Always the daredevil

President Of The World

Making new friends by dancing to their music. These guys loved you

I want to go back to this day and just freeze you like this. You were so precious.

You helped cook the lamb at Greek Easter even though I couldn't go anywhere near it

You studied abroad in Thessaloniki, Greece

State Champs EVERY year and National Champs

You won many awards

Happy Graduation G!
