A letter from July 8th, 2020

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Emily, Happy 17th Birthday! 🥳Honestly, I don't know what to say but what I do know is that you are growing up to be an amazing woman. You deserve everything that you desire and I know that you've worked hard in school. I'm very proud of the way you've practised your speech over all the years of your life. You have pushed yourself to the limit and I can only believe that you are almost cured. I love how your learning more Serbian, it just goes to show how much your family means to you. Enjoy every aspect of your life, you have come so far. I'm 16 typing this at the moment I still want to be a speech pathologist, but whatever you end up wanting to be I know you'll be great at it and I fully support it. I love you with all my heart, you are a strong, beautiful, and smart person, have fun whenever you can and enjoy life to the fullest. Have the best birthday now go and be happy. Bye 👋 Love from your past 16-year-old self 😘 xoxo
