Watching you both grow has been the greatest joy and adventure of my life. From your very first steps, you have always walked together, but each with your own path, your own dreams, and your own strengths. I’ve marveled at how different you are, yet how perfectly you complement each other. Ava McKnight thank you for teaching me what it means to persevere with grace. You have over come so much to be this strong,determined woman that stands before us today. Kendall Mcknight thank you for being a reminder that there is still genuine kindness and empathy in this world. Your boundless curiosity and huge heart reach out and touch everyone around you. Today, I’m not saying goodbye to your childhood but celebrating all you’ve become and all you’re about to become. I am so honored and so proud to be your Dad. I love you both with all my heart, and I cannot wait to see the lives you will build and the joy you will bring to this world. Here’s to all your dreams yet to come true and to a future as bright as you are. Happy 18th Birthday.
