Dear Diary,

As I reach the last few pages of this entire book, I cannot believe the journey that got us up to this point. I have learned so much from the very first moment my family adopted me. I still can't believe that was 13 years ago. I'm leaving to go to college tomorrow!
I was such a shy child, but also encouraging and enthusiastic, as my Dads have been telling me. I couldn't have made it this far and have learned all these lessons without their love, support and advice they have given me.
So as soon as I get done with this journal, I have decided to give this diary to them as a gift for their anniversary, so they can look at all the things that I wrote and go back in time with those memories.
Daddies S and M, when you read this, I just want to say thank you for all that you have done. Without anything from you guys, I would not be the woman I am today, and I'm not even sure if I would still be at the orphanage or not if you hadn't had come in that day.
I am proud of our family and I cannot wait for our future.

Love,
Emily

I closed my diary and sighed for a moment, having finally gotten done my last journal entry in this diary ever. It does feel like only yesterday that I actually got this diary. That was ten years ago, as I became a writing addict in elementary school. You would think with how much I wrote in this journal, you would need twenty other diaries. But this was able to hold everything. From my stupid scribbles, to pictures from last events, this was my diary.

It surprised me that I haven't even bothered going through it. Probably because I would cringe at my past self.

But I decided to give it a shot.

I opened the diary and went to the first page.
