Three Years Back and Forward

Three years ago I attended your Doctoral "white coat" ceremony that initiated the beginning of the three years of hard work and study you were about to undertake.

 I remember when you called me and so graciously invited me to attend.  I happily accepted your invitation.  You called me the day before the event nervously confirming that I would still be attending, I confirmed that I was still going but was concerned about the distance and driving.  You immediately made arrangements for a friend of yours to pick me up and take me. 

On the way, you called several times to make sure we were on our way, almost there, and everything was okay etc. When we arrived, I was surprised to see that it was only your immediate family there and myself. I thought, how special, I was honored.  I remember leaving the ceremony and you called to make sure that we were returning home safely and asked that I call to let you know I got home.  When I got home I said to your friend, see you in three years (referencing your anticipated graduation).  By the time I got in the house you sent a message thanking me so graciously for attending. 

Between that time and now you got married, lost your mom and now your Doctoral graduation is coming up in a few days.  I am very proud of your acomplishments education wise hope all your future aspirations are achieved.

I always thought you would be "The One" why? because from the outside you appeared to demonstrate all I ever dreamed of: ambitious, handsome, Spiritual, Nice, hard working, intelligent, determined.

Moving forward, God will meet and exceed my expectations with all the qualities that I desire in a spouse and more.  I believe it and claim it in Jesus Name. Amen.
