Family

To my family:

Sometimes we don't say the things we need to say exactly when we need to say them. I want to say that I love you all and I appreciate everything that you have all done for me throughout my life. Thank you Dad for taking care of me, especially when I needed it most. Thank you Mom for always being the ear I needed. Thank you Karen for opening up your home for Austin and I when we needed a place to stay, not to mention it was nice to spend time with you guys too. Thanks Tom for hanging out with me and talking about anything we could come up with! Thank you Eric for taking to heart the things I've said to you throughout our lives and for caring. Thank you Sara for entering Eric's life and not running away when he scared you! Lol! Thank you Tabby for understanding my craziness when no one else did. Thank you Nancy for caring and always making me laugh with your funny self! :-) Thank you Grandma for listening the first time I opened up to you and for loving me. Thank you Grandpa for making me feel special when most of the time I felt left out. Thank you Ericka for being the one friend who has never left my side. Thank you Alice for listening and making me laugh. Thank you everyone for all the other things you did that are unmentioned.

I love you all so very much and all my neices and nephews! Thank you to everyone in my life whom I have crossed paths with and who have been good to me throughout the time they've known me. Thank you God for giving me Austin.

Austin, Mommy loves you more than anything in the whole wide world! You are the most beautiful, heaven sent gift in the world. Please do your best at everything you do and know that Mommy never has been perfect and I would never pretend to be but I would have given anything in the world to see you happy that's why I've always pushed you to be better and do better. Don't listen to any negative things that anyone might say to you, no matter what, I want you to know that I love you!!
