Some affect you even if you've only met them once, but never knew them like the rest. These people have been here for me, so I need to be there for them as they're coming up on one of the hardest times they experience. So I'll always be here for them, no matter the circumstances. And I just want to thank each of them, but in very different ways.
- Dave : you're one of the most inspiring people I've ever known. You've kept me in check when I was places I shouldn't have been, you've reminded me when I slip who I am and I'll always get to where I need to be. You've shown me the paths that are worth taking and the ones I shouldn't even look at. I have a father, but you serve as my "second" one I could say. I know you're always someone to count on and I hope you realize how grateful I am for you and your family!
-Cheryl : you've been through so much, but are still probably the strongest woman I know. You've raised an astounding family and I can only hope to do as great of a job as you someday. I respect you and you're family beyond any words will ever say. I can't wait to grow closer to you as time goes on. Thank you for everything you do, because it never goes unappreciated.
-April : COUSIN! You're my best friend! I have no clue where I'd be if I was never your friend. You're the greatest friend I've ever had and I can't thank you or God enough for being in my life and dealing with my personality even though we're just about almost kinda the same in about every way :) your future is beyond bright and I hope I'm apart of it always! You're strong and beautiful and God has his hand on your life for sure.
-Micah : good grief I love you. I thank God everyday for you and I'm beyond proud of you. You're the man of God and great person I prayed so many times in my life for, for a very long time. God's blessings come in many different ways, but yours is probably my favorite. You're there for me in any time of doubt and you change my life for the better and are shaping my clumpy heart into something beautiful through the way you live out your life and calling. I can't wait to see what the future holds. I pray you'll always be in my life. I love you.
-Noah : so I met him a couple of times, but you're still a big deal in my life. You seemed so strong and someone worth while. You were placed in the greatest family, but the devil is an idiot. You were a light in the pitch black of darkness. You changed hearts and lives and you still are to this day. I can't wait to party with Jesus! We've got lots to catch up on.
- Travis, Cassidy, & Jordan : you all are amazing! I have loads of fun everytime I'm around you all. Travis, with your stupid women's rights jokes to your awesome sermons I've heard, you're a walking light. Cassidy! Your bubbly personality and passion for people inspire me and you're super awesome! Jordan, you're the sweetest person I've ever known I think! Don't ever forget your solid foundation laid by your amazing family! Never go a day without cherishing them.
I love each of you beyond words. Thank you for changing my life for the better in every area. Im thinking of you guys and I know it gets harder every year, but you're surrounded by great people and you will get through it. Always. I love y'all!
-Holly.
