To one of my oldest (not literally), dearest, and truest friends...

When I walked into that first choir session, I had no idea that the awkward boy sitting in the front row of the AV Theatrette, who was the first to extend a hand of friendship to me with no questions asked, would eventually mellow into the warm, kind, and caring man that you are now.

Today, you take your first step into the world of adulthood. You have, from a teenager so uncertain of himself, made the successful transition to confident and mature adult.

The path ahead holds many great and beautiful things for you, so go ahead and reach for them. You deserve it.

"May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet...
Enough trials to keep you strong...
Enough hope to keep you happy...
Enough friends to give you comfort...
And enough determination to make each day a better day than yesterday"

Happy 21st Birthday, Daolin.

I love you buddy =)
