To the sister I always wanted but never got. To the best friend I will never have to worry about loosing. And to one of the best people I know, thank you.

There are many reasons I am thankful for you but I'll just name a few:

Family Gatherings:

Wow, what would I do without you. I'm not sure I would make it through without you, in fact, I know I wouldn't. Thank you for always being there to make me laugh and always remind that we do, in fact, love our crazy family. (And also hiding with me when I don't feel like talking)

Puberty:

Well, you loved me when I was a crazy hormonal teenage girl so you basically deserve an award. But seriously, thank you for always loving me even when I made it hard.

Loss in the family:

Unfortunately, we have to deal with this together, but, without you I wouldn't have been able to stay strong. I am so grateful to have you when we've lost someone.

Heartbreak:

You've been there for every single dumb boy and every single heartbreak that came along with it. Thank you for never saying, "I told you so" and always being there to make me laugh when I wanted to cry.

And finally,

Life:

Thank you for being my "number 1" and never judging me too harshly. Thank you for standing by my side when I felt alone and for always being there to pick me up when I'm done. Thank you for always making me a priority no matter what you have going on. And finally, thank you for being my best friend.

Life without you would be so boring. I am beyond thankful God decided to bless me with someone like you.

Love always,

Your Cousin
