This supportive goodbye letter is from a parent to a graduating student who is leaving home.
I can't believe that today is already here. I know that it's an old cliché, but it really does feel like just the other day that you were five years old and {participating in childish activity}. You have grown so much since then and become such an incredible, mature young adult.
I am impressed with not only your graduation, but of the numerous accomplishments you've achieved, such as {accomplishment 1} and {accomplishment 2}. You make me so proud, and I know that you are going to do amazing things for your community and the world.
As with all transitions in life, this one makes me a little sad. I'm going to miss having you in the nest. It really feels like you've grown up now that you're moving away. Remember that your {mother/father} and I love you very much, and that you are always free to come visit and to bring as much laundry home as you like!
