"I am very proud of you. Today I hold my head high for the things you have accomplished. You have pulled yourself up from some very tough emotional situations, and I applaud you, Sergio.
Remember, Sergio, NOTHING can hurt you unless you give it permission. So as you move into a new chapter of your life, be reminded of your strengths. You have the power within you to accomplish all that you desire in life. Always remember the end goal, and do not let anything rob you of that.
You are STRONG. You are BRILLIANT. You are LOVED You are CONFIDENT. You are SUCCESSFUL
You have the power to change the emotions you feel. Do not give your power to sadness and anger.
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
I love you. You are my forever love child."

-Dawn Petgrave, my mother
