I could continue this post by listing a million different things that I have, but I wont. I feel when a list is made, it is harder to actually appreciate each blessing individually. So along with all the minute things in my life that still play a large role, I am going to list all the people, and things in my life I am grateful for, in no particular order.
Mom, oh mom, where would I be without you, and your loving guidance. We don't see eye to eye on many things, and even though that doesn't really change, I know that you do everything with a purpose. That purpose is our family. Your love for each of us shows, and no matter what we know it. You laugh at all my dumb, jokes, and even mimick them on occasion, and it really means a lot to me. You hold me when I cry over little things. You allow me to rub your feet almost ever night of the week, oh wait.... You sacrifice so much for me, mom, I love you, and I am so grateful that God sent me to you, here, at this time, in this family. Thank you.
Dad, you try so hard, and even though I don't easily accept a lot of things from you, including constructive criticism, I do appreciate how much effort you put into loving me, and trying to show me that you love me. Because I notice, I always notice whether I show it or not, I love you, and KNOW that you love me. I could not have a more caring, protective, and loving dad. Thank you.
Sierra, I love you! My older sister who has unconditional love for me, always forgiving me for stupid things I do, you have my back, and listen to me always, you care, and that means so much for me. You really are such a strong part of my life, you show me what I can do, what I can overcome. You are so strong, and I really appreciate your example. Thank you.
Adam, this may appear to be hitting the whole sibling thing, but really, I love you. Even though we don't always get along, its the times that we do that are so fun. Our sense of humor is really one of a kind. Everyone says that later on we will be best friends, and I used to think that was such a silly thing to think. BUT I really do see us being close, and I hope that comes soon, because I will be moving out soon enough. Adam, every once in a while I see a glimpse of your caring side, and it really redeems everything else, I love you. Be strong, because a guy like you, the world will attempt to tear down. You have so much potential. Thank you.
Lauren, you are so cute. I really hope that you know how amazing, and intelligent you are, because our family is just full of that. You can grasp our conversations at dinner when most kids your age wouldnt. You are so amazing in so many different ways. Its so cute when you talk about how alike we are, and even though I dont like to admit it, I know its true. I can see your sense of humor, and realize what it will be in the future. You ability to sympathize is so much like me it scares me. I really am so thankful for you being in my family and forgiving me whenever I am rude ( I know it happens often). Thank you.
The rest of my family has has such an impact on my life. They are such a huge part of how I am who I am today, its crazy. I love you all and you have been such an example to me! I really cannot imagine this life without you. Thank you.
Trevin, wow, there is just so much to say. You are my best friend and I love you. You are constantly there for me when I am sick, sad, even happy. You are such an amazing person, and have so much potential in this world. You care for me even when I know I don't deserve it at all. I really hope to always have you be a part of my life. I cannot imagine going it alone in this world without you. You help make me strong, in life, in the gospel, and anything else. Thank you.
Brayden, you are my brother, and I love you so much. The things that you have done for me in my life are truly amazing, and I really appreciate everything. In some ways, you could say that you saved my life. Thank you.
Mitch, my angel, I owe you so much. But I am so thankful for all your kindness, and all that you have done for me. It has truly changed my life. Thank you.
You, I am not thankful for you, but I am thankful for who you made me in my life. You helped me be able to sympathize with others, you helped me find my love for writing, and you helped me find my more serious side. Thank you.
Mr. Nelson, you are one of my heroes. You helped my love for writing become a talent. I may not be the best writer, but I love what I write, and you taught me to write what I feel inspired to write, not what I have to. But even more than that, you taught me that I can take any manditory assignment and make it personal. Thank you.
To my journal, you have created a special therapy for me that no one could comprehend. Thank you.
My Savior, I thank you everyday for the sacrifice that you have made for me. The pain that you suffered for me, and the love you have given me. You forgive me whenever I ask it of you, and you love me always. I love you so much, and could go on for days about you, but all in all I just want to say: Thank you.
