Graduation
A degree is years of bad nights nobody saw. Graduation flowers do not celebrate the diploma, they celebrate the person who held on to the end. We build them with her initial, set in roses, for the photograph.
- You did it. And nobody handed you anything.
- I saw every one of those nights. Today I see this. Congratulations.
- Congratulations, {título} {nome}. Sounds good, does it not?
- The diploma is paper. What lasted is you.
- I always knew. Today it is written down.
