Dear Grammi and Granddad,

Through the years you guys have been two of my biggest supporters and I feel as though I've never thanked you enough, so here it is.

You two have aided me with so many opportunities just as your son, my father, has and I thank you guys for that immensely. I thank you for being my safe haven and giving me a place to escape and call my own, even if I don't live anywhere near you guys. Life gets murky and sometimes I just need to get away from the crazy day to day life where I am and I'm glad that I am able to go to you guys for comfort.

Thank you for being such amazing role models and for accepting me for who I was no matter what. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for these things. Hearing the words, "we're proud of you," "we love you," and "you're growing into such a great woman," are always greatly appreciated and you guys have no idea how much they truly mean to me.

Thank you for being my best friends. Some may think it's lame that in my list of best friends, three of them are my family but I think it's just wicked, not everyone gets to be so close to their family as I get to be. Whenever good things happen to me, or just things in general happen, you guys are some of the first people I tell. I will forever be grateful to have such a wonderful relationship with you guys despite the distance and the absent years between us.

You may no longer be right down the road, but you are always a text or phone call away.

Thank you guys so much,

I love you.
