(Well this is the post I have to re-type) :/ Sometimes I really dislike technology.. grr.

Today has put me on a roller-coaster of emotions.
But I would like to take time out of the craziness of my life to say a few special words to a handful of people :)

My Mom - She is not only a mother to me but also a bestfriend. I have never met anyone else that has endued so much hardship and she still keeps a smile on her face. I adore her and hope to be just half as amazing as she is, because that is how highly view her. Never have I fought with my Mom and I am so thankful for that. I love her so much and I hope she knows that I am proud of her, I love her, thank her and really hope someone finds a cure for her strokes.

Tracey - Although she is my aunt she has taken me into her household on and off since I was thirteen years old. She’s lost so many in life and still remains strong. I do admire her. She’s crazy and can make just about anyone laugh. :) We may not always agree but I will always love her.

Kim - Oh geeze. Where do I begin with this woman? She is not only my cousin but also my confidant and bestfriend. Even though she used to beat me up when we were little, I still love her and will always be 11 days older :P We were even crazy enough to share the same locker at school but go an entire month without talking, and still cry on the last day of 8th grade because we wouldn’t see eachother daily. I love her and all of the memories we have shared and I cannot wait for more!

Grandma - (Lola Withrow) Oh, how I miss her. But I know her and my Dad are watching over me. As she used to say “You see that first star in the night, that is your Daddy’s and he is always watching over you” So I know she is up there with him, enjoying the blossoming of her family. Even though I bet she wishes she could be here, she is no longer suffering and that is one of the most important things. I am sad for the time that was taken too soon from us but I am so thankful for the memories and love we share.

Daxx - Little brother :) I love you so much! I can’t wait to spend more time with you and I know that you are going to be such an amazing person! Always keep your head up and never ever give up.

Troy - My stepdad. We have had our good times and bad. I am just so thankful he can be there for my Mom. He makes me laugh and I know he will take good care of my Mom and brother.

Zach Lilly - What began from a register messing up at BestBuy has turned into something so beautiful…Zach is such an incredible person. He knows how precious life is and that you should grab ahold of opportunities that come your way because they may never appear again. He has taught me so much in a short while that I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us. I just hope I can bring as much happiness to him, as he does for me. The song “Jump on it” will always remind me of him and he knows why. ;)

Zane Lilly - (Zach’s brother, of course) I am so thrilled that I have been accepted into Zach’s family and that I can talk to his brother on a personal level. This kid is awesome and I love his outlook on things to always find the positive aspects about it!

Rachael Dolan - I miss her so much. We met at bestbuy and became really good friends. We had both been through our share of failed friendships and unnecessary drama and found comfort in each-other. I do need to see her more and I am so excited because she is currently in labor! I know she is going to be such a great mother!

Laura Thongkhamthanome - Oooh, this girl. :) We met in high school and there was time where we didn’t speak but I think it did strengthen our friendship. She always seems to know what to say and how I feel. Laura; keep yo head up gurl! Everything is going to be okay, no matter what. Don’t you ever settle for less than you deserve. I know it is hard, I know. But your own happiness needs to become a priority. :)

Bubba - Although he is my cousin, I consider him a brother. We have literally grown up together and I am proud of who he is becoming. He does make me feel old though! Crazy kid..I can’t wait to share more memories with him. :)

Ryon Powers - There is so much I could say. I just wanted to include him on here because he has been such a huge part of my life for three and a half years. I thank him for all he has taught me and a part of me will always love him.

A special shoutout also goes to Levi Bouska, Gage Beavers, The Powers family, The LIlly family, and all of my family members.

I am very thankful for all who are in my life and I will be here for any one of you, just ask! Remember that tomorrow is guaranteed to no one so tell people how you feel while you still have the chance, love like you have never been hurt before, smile because it will be okay, don’t be sad because life is too short to be caught up in the negativities of life, and appreciate yourself for who you are! Because no one else is ever going to be as good as you are at being YOUrself. Cherish the old while embracing the new.

I may not have a huge impact on your lives, but I do hope that these words comfort you, knowing that you are loved and appreciated for who you are and I WILL always be here.
