Dear Dream Catcher,

I begin this letter by saying how much I love you and how much I value our friendship. Aside from being my sister and little in Omega, I want to say that you have been the best thing that's ever happened to me at Concordia. You never judged me and you always made me feel whole. Words cannot express how much you mean to me. I'll miss seeing you around the cord but I know that God has greater things planned for you.

Lehman has been blessed to have you in the fall. I know that you will excel at anything and everything you decide to do. You have helped me in ways that you can't even imagine. Sometimes when I'm feeling down, you know somehow, and you come and comfort me just by saying hello or giving me a hug. You didn't know it at the time and you probably still don't know it, but I always valued having you around.

I know that I will survive my senior year without you because you have given me the strength and confidence to end this year with a bang. I need to tell you that I am also proud of you! The girl I met my sophomore year has changed and grown exponentially. You were shy at first but you have come out of your shell and graced the world with your presence.You are beautiful and wonderful inside and out and I'm so thankful to have you in my life. I only pray that you will never forget how great you are. Never let the demons in this society change your perception of yourself. Never let someone demean you or tell you things they only wish they can become. You're perfect just the way you are!

As I write this letter I cry because I know that we have to go our separate ways. I know that I will see you again, I just wanted you to know that it broke my heart when you decided to go to Lehman. You don't know how much of an impact you made on my life. I know that you will come and visit me and I look forward to it, I honestly can't wait. Thank you for visiting me this summer and telling me about your awesome vacation. I'm happy that I was able to guide you in the right direction because I watched you grow up and mature over these past few years. I want you to know that I'm grateful to have been a part of your life.

The girl I see now has great confidence is happy and has light shining through her eyes. The girl I see today smiles more than usual and laughs often. When I look at myself I also see how you've impacted my life. I see a girl who is more loving and friendly. I see a girl who loves life and is making an effort to convince herself that she is also important. I finally have balance and stability in my life and I am no longer afraid to take risks, make mistakes, or afraid to ask for help. Thank you, Steph for changing my life and I only hope that you know I am always here for you.

Love ya lots,

Dingan
