My Dearest Anna Abena Yamoah,
It feels like just yesterday I was congratulating you on your high school graduation at 17, and then watching with pride as you navigated the challenging process of medical school applications. I remember your determination as you traveled for interviews, and the joy we shared when that acceptance letter finally arrived. Now here you are at 21 — a beautiful, intelligent woman with dreams as vast as the sky. I've cherished witnessing your journey from that focused, ambitious teenager to the remarkable woman you've become today.
Your journey into medicine isn't surprising to anyone who knows your caring heart. The way your eyes light up when you talk about healing others shows that you've found your true calling. Like the sweetest chocolate that melts away worries, your presence has always brought comfort to those around you. Now you'll bring that same sweetness to your patients, making their darkest days a little brighter.
From Anna Abena Yamoah to the future Mrs. AAA, and from student to becoming a doctor, I couldn't be more proud of the path you're creating. Your determination, compassion, and brilliance continue to inspire everyone around you.
With all my love and pride,
Happy 21st Birthday!
