The People I Love

I have a lot of feelings inside that I want to get out, but at the moment I don’t how. I don’t think anything I try to say will do justice to how I feel. One thing I want to do though is to thank the people I love in my life.

My Sister: Your beautiful inside and out, and I don’t just say that because we’re a lot alike in personality and looks. There are some things about you that I long to have though. For one your strong. You’ve been through so much in your life, probably even more than I know of and yet you still get up in the mornings and go about your days. You have an understanding heart and you rarely judge and if you do, you have very good reasons. One of my favorite things about you is that you’re my friend before you’re my sister. There’s no one that I’m more proud of in my life.

Amanda: The one person I never feel bad being a blond with. You’re more comfortable with me when I’m being a dork than when I’m serious. You know the right things to make me laugh and half the time I’m laughing because of something stupid we did or said. I love you more today than I ever have before growing up. If there’s such thing as friends being soul mates, than we are.

Elyse: My dictionary for life. You have given me some priceless advice over the years. I don’t know how I would of gotten through my teenage years with out you. You were also my spiritual source. We shared some good times to together praying (haha, that sounds lame, but it’s true). What I love most about you though is that My boy troubles are Your boy troubles, your never mind to take a share. You’re my brown eyed girl.

My Brother: Not only are you my hero, but you a hero to this Nation. You put your life at risk everyday when you jump out of planes and shoot a gun, but the best part is that you don’t even think twice about it. Over the years you’ve been more like second a dad than a brother. You’re my protective older brother and you’re the only person on this world that can make me ashamed of my belching habit. I miss you dearly, but I know your at better use in the Air Force than you are at home. Every day you make me proud to call you my brother.

My Mom: My mentor and influence. I wouldn’t want to be special education teacher if it wasn’t for you. I see how your job makes you happy and I love to hear your stories. You are educating the future of our country and as I see that I want to be apart of that. Not only do you influence me, but you’ve become my friend over the years. Although I might not tell you everything, I still feel like I can come to you when I need a shoulder to cry on. You know me very well, which means a lot to me that you care so much. There are so many parents out there today that could care less about their children, but you are a real mom through and through. I know you’ll love me no matter what I do. I’m very thankful that I can call you my mom and my friend.

My Dad: There’s nothing better than knowing I’m Daddy’s Little Girl. You’ve been the best influence on me than any other person in my life. The sacrifices you had to make when I was growing up proved to us, your family, how much you loved us and cared for us. You’ve worked so hard to support us over the years. The greatest thing about you though is how you love mom. When you allowed my mom to go to school to follow her dreams of becoming a teacher and moved us to the other side of the state and had to leave a nice job for a terrible job that proved to me how much you love her. I hope that when I get married I will find a guy that loves me at least as half as much because it would be enough to last me a lifetime. Your honest, loving, hard working, supportive, and the best dad ever. There’s no one else’s pride I love to have as much as yours. I strive to make you proud of me.

The Floyds- Mark, Heidi, Alex, and Natalie: My refuge in this world. Where would I be if I didn’t have Mark and Heidi? Mark has been a great friend for the last four years. Always just one phone call away when I need him. A couple of years ago we went through a big upset with a friend of mine that we tried to help. He went through it with me and helped with the pain of it. I thanked him by helping him with getting together with Heidi. I also think I’ve won in this too. When Mark married Heidi I gained a friend right away. Heidi is so kind hearted, she loves everyone. If I have a problem she is always offering me her wisdom. She is smart beyond her age. I also love her Nicaraguan cooking! Alex, their son is love its self. I’ve never loved a child as much as I love him. When I play with him I’m a child again. He brings joy into my life that wouldn’t be there otherwise. I look forward to watching him grow up. Natalie, the cutest baby in the world. I feel happiness when I just hold her and she looks into my eyes with her beautiful blue eyes. The Floyd family, there’s no other family out there like them. Thank you for letting me apart of you lives.

All these people fill my life with meaning, with out them I wouldn’t be who I am. They’re the reason why I love. I know all feelings when I’m with these people. They all hold a piece of my soul. And I wouldn’t want it to be any other way.
