Ode to Peyton:
“Beauty is truth, truth beauty, —that is all/Ye know on earth, and all you need to know”. John Keats
Beautiful inside and out and a seeker of the truth, you personify both ideals. You have made me proud in every way since the day you were born. I am especially proud of you today, not only of your stunning academic achievements, but of the person you are. Remember that with the gift of an incredible education, you have control of what to think. Relish your freedom of choice and exercise it. Continue to think deeply about truth and the things that matter. You have an amazing, beautiful life ahead of you!
In the words of DFW: “I wish you more than luck.” With all my love always, Mommy
