You did it, Helen!
We are so proud of you!
And for a lack of words to tell you how I feel, I will show graphic proof!
I am so proud of the woman you are becoming! Can't wait to see what the future has in store for you!
Oh, the places you'll go, love!
First photo I ever took of you. Helen Licea (2018) by Odette Photo+Art
To Have Succeeded
By: Ralph Waldo Emerson
"To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."
