Lilly is the queen of resilience and perseverance, I enjoyed being her school mom in her junior and senior years. Good luck with the next chapter! May the best be yet to come.

Leading Nearpod Meditation groups, using Mentimeter, creating a Bitmoji, your involvement in the 21 days of X-mas, and addressing me by my name even though I am a new hire and there were no face-to-face meetings shows just how thoughtful, involved and dedicated you are as a leader. I wish you all the best on your new adventure.

But, from what I was able to take through these past two years, I cannot thank you enough for being such an inspiration and someone to really look up to. Your warmth and good heart made things so much easier for me (although they were still SUPER tough), but you did your best and I appreciate that more than anything. I wish you the best in your years to come and really hope that things open up and you are able to come back and visit us soon! Have a safe journey, Inshallah everything will go smoothly and beautifully for both you and Christina and that you have many, many happy and healthy years to come.
