Dear
Aunt
Carol
and
Uncle
Dan
,
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
generous
graduation
gift
.
I
was
truly
touched
when
I
opened
your
card
—
and
I
already
know
exactly
where
it
’
s
going
.
I
’
m
putting
it
toward
a
new
laptop
for
graduate
school
this
fall
,
so
I
’
ll
think
of
you
both
every
time
I
sit
down
to
study
.
Commencement
was
everything
I
hoped
it
would
be
.
My
parents
cried
,
Dr
.
Okafor
gave
a
speech
I
’
ll
remember
for
years
,
and
I
finally
got
to
hug
everyone
who
made
the
last
four
years
possible
—
and
you
two
were
at
the
top
of
that
list
.
I
know
the
next
chapter
comes
with
its
own
challenges
,
but
knowing
I
have
family
like
you
behind
me
makes
it
feel
far
less
daunting
.
I
’
d
love
to
take
you
both
out
to
dinner
the
next
time
you
’
re
in
town
—
my
treat
this
time
.
With
all
my
love
,
Elena
P
.
S
. —
Grandma
mentioned
your
famous
pound
cake
is
waiting
for
me
.
I
’
ll
be
by
soon
.
