Dear Mom,
I know it's been over a month since I have written to you, and I'm sorry for that. I just sent Jaden's mom, Tara, a long message thanking her for everything that she has done for me & taught me. She basically immediately stood up to fill my mother-figure position, and I couldn't be any more thankful. She's more of a mother mother and you were more of a best friend mother. I say that with no offense by the way. Guess what. I got my diploma in the mail today! I know you would be so beyond proud of me if you were here. Even though you aren't physically here, I know that you're still here, and you were probably crying earlier. I know I shed a few tears. I genuinely didn't think I was going to graduate this year. For a while, I didn't care about school and I didn't care if I wasn't going to graduate. But I did! And I feel so proud of myself for that. I would not have been able to do it without Tara and my therapist, Angie. Funny story, she's actually married to Don Huey. A small world, huh? I know for a fact that you know who he is or at least recognize his name. I feel like he's the most famous person in Indiana, haha. He also came and took the car to junk it for me :( It was difficult seeing it go, but it had to be done. Besides Jaden's car, our car was my favorite car to drive. Speaking of driving, I got my license! I failed my test the first time I took it because I hit a cone when I was parallel parking. In my defense, I had never even tried to parallel part at all, so that was my first time.
