They called me Doogie

Okay, the above photo was not actually my high-school graduation. That came a year or two later.
This, however is the card my parents gave me on the day I did receive my diploma.

The inside says “…the end is in sight!”
And then there’s the note from Mom:

Dear Heidi,
We are so proud of you and all that you have accomplished and the direction you have taken in your life.
You are a beautiful daughter, inside and out.
I wish we could have given you more for graduation but I guess the car insurance will have to do for now. (They paid my insurance for the following six months. I wasn’t complaining.)
We love you very much. You are a lot of fun to be around. You have a beautiful sense of right and wrong. And you are very strong. Now.
And we are extremely proud of you.
You are a very courageous person. You are bold. Sometimes a little more than expected! But you are one of a kind and I wouldn’t have you any other way.
Thank you for all the lessons you have taught me. One of the biggest ones is respecting your private property! I have learned to do that.
Love Mom and Dad

Mom, I know I said I wasn’t going to post this, but I just couldn’t resist. Lucky for me it wasn’t your private property.
If you are in the mood for more unscrapable fun, stop by We Are THAT Family and tell them I said hi!
