Daddy's Little Girl

Wow! It’s hard to believe 18 years are almost gone. Lavon, you are no longer my “baby girl”. As we’ve watched you grow and mature, you have brought much joy to our lives. Your determined resolve and infectious smile have brightened the lives of all those who have come in contact with you. Your love of life and commitment to service have helped to develop friendships which will last a lifetime…and you love for God and dedication to His commands and His compassion for others have made a lasting impression on many…including me.

I am proud of all that you have accomplished. We have watched you develop physically, academically and musically – but the most fun has been to watch you grow and increase in your faith. I am most proud of the young woman of God you have become. As you embark on this new and exciting journey, I pray that you will continue to grow and mature in the wisdom and knowledge and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray that God will guide you in the direction where you can best serve Him. Trust in Him during good times and hard times. Don’t be afraid to ask your Father for anything, big or small. Most of all, remember to put Him first in ALL you do and never forget His sacrifice for you.

Always know that your Mother and I will be there for you – anytime night or day. No matter where you are, what you do, or how old you are, you will always be “Daddy’s little girl”.

I love you and look forward to the coming years.

Dad
