Dear Family,

I don't know what my life would be like if I didn't have all of your support and positivity in my life. You have all shaped me into the woman that I'm supposed to be and I've learned so many valuable lessons from each and every one of you. I've learned how to not only respect myself but to respect others. I've learned to always stand up for myself and to never let anyone tell me that I'm not good enough to do something. I thank God for each and every moment that I've spent with each and every one of you and I can't imagine losing you. So, thank you. Thank you for always being there to cheer me up and to pick me up when I fall. Thank you for never giving up on me and always encouraging me to push forward with anything that I do. Thank you for loving me when I couldn't even love myself and thank you for sticking by me when everyone else walked out. I love you more than you'll ever know.
