I love you guys. :)

Thank You: To my wonderful sister that helps me be a stronger person, to my ex boyfriend for showing me theres no shame in crying, to my parents for doing anything & everything to put a smile on all 5 of our faces, to my friend Crystal & showing me there are more important things out there than what has hurt you, to my past friends for wiping tears as they ran down my face & to my acquaintances for making everything complete:)<3

Thank you for the gift of you. Thank you for calling me out on my bullshit and pushing me. You caught me at the right time. I told you I felt like I was in disarray, but only because you took the pieces and organized them in a way that made sense to me. No one had ever done that. It's hard for me to make statements like this, but I feel like you helped me conquer my biggest fear. Definitely, thank you.

I would like to thank my old boss he is one of the rudest, mean and arrogant doctors you will meet. He would scream at you call you horrible names in front of coworkers and patients. I kept asking God what this for? Finally I knew, I was not being the best mother and wife that I could be and I'm still not (trying daily). But his bad behavior has helped me to change mine and for this I am grateful. I still loose my patients but not as often and when I do I'm trying to treat everyone else the way I want to be treated.

Thank you my darling daughters April (16) and Kendall (12) for being my best medicine during my battle (kicked its a*s) with breast cancer for doing the things I could not, for the missed outings, for taking car of me after 2 surgery's, radation, chemo. You both are the reason I could be bald, proud, got up everyday and went to work. I see my true value and I see how precious you both are everyday and wish the day's would go slower so my hugs are longer, your eyes are bluer..For staying on the honor roll's, president's award, doing the right thing acheivemnets..I am just so, so LUCKY that God chose me to be your MOMMY! Grateful EVERYDAY..I am blessed to learn the lesson :)

Thank you Daddy, for always being there for me. Even When you weren't physically there, you always seemed to know how to be there for me. You've been through so much crap, but yet you've raised Tom, Jim, and I perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing about you. Don't ever change. I love you so much <3

Thank you for trying your best. I know it isn't your fault that you're sick. I love you, always, even if you're too sick to understand what exactly that means.

Awesome video, for starters. My shout-out has to go to my mom. She's beautiful and has always encouraged me. My mom has always had it rough. She's the oldest of her siblings, experienced a bad divorce between her parents, and was unable to further her education as an adult. She managed to raise my brother and me into a couple of pretty good people. She's always been self-sacrificing and optimistic through it all. I love you, Mom! You've been my role model for as long as I can remember. <3

I would have to thank my grandmother. You were only in my life for about six years, but you put the biggest imprint on my heart. There were days when I know people couldn’t separate the two of us, and everyday was an adventure with you. You showered me with love. The world was just brighter with you in it. Some day I will thank you face to face. Until then I just hope I make you proud.

Alot of people in life tell us we should be a certain way. We should be humble, polite, selfless and I'm not saying that they're wrong, but every now and then we find someone who looks at us just a little bit differently. Someone who doesn't care what you do for a living as long as you're happy, who tells you when you do something right and loves you completely - for your weaknesses as much as your strengths. They are able to see these flaws as not only part of who you are, but integral stepping stones towards your own personal growth and development. They are aware that everyone has obstacles they face in life, and doesn't try to push you away from them, but nevertheless are always there to hold your hand. They love you exactly as you are, no conditions or limits, and you know you will always feel the same.

I couldn't have asked for a better big sister. <3

To my Grandfather,
To my Grandfather,
Thanks for your kindness, generosity, caring, teaching, and love. You've taught me to be a good man, and you have always been a perfect example of who I'd like to be. The impact you have made on my life is immeasurable. There is no way to really express how much you mean to me. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for being so open with me about how you want to make the world a better place. My tattoo was an exact representation of people like you, yet you wished you could do more. Your kindness was more than enough and I loved your spirit and willingness to help out anyone in need. You knew the name of dear man you helped several times and then you willingly set your dreams aside to help your mother out. Thank you so much for showing my a real-life version of humility.
THANK YOU :)

To my ex-boyfriend.
To my ex-boyfriend.
Without you, I would not have this pain that I carry in my heart every day or the insecurities that tie me to my past. But without you, I would not have the understanding of the hurt and experiences of others that I have today. Without you, I would not be able to love others as fully as I do now.
So thank you.

Thank you for transcending where you came from, for making things so much better for me. Thank you for caring to give the advice that I was not ready to hear. I meant no disrespect. I had to do it all myself - and mostly do it wrong.

And in needing to do rather than follow, I am more like you than either of us realized.
