To have been able to spend the time I have with you all, I am forever grateful. You all have taught me so much about not only myself but others, too. I have received and given so much love that I know I will always remember. You have given me a second family that is loving and accepting and I would not trade that for the world.

I am so, so thankful that I have had a place to go every week that even on my worst days I cannot wait to be. We have all been through so much but when we are together we allow each other to forget about everything going on. If a hug is needed then 15 will be given, and often tears are shed by all so one is not alone.

It has been such an amazing journey with you people, and I will definitely be telling my kids about you. I cried more at my last dance recital than my high school graduation and it kills me to think that next year I will not be able to go to the studio for class. It has been a privilege to be able to dance with such beautiful souls and share this part of my life with such a great group of people.

To the countless pictures, endless laughs, and perfect people that have been by my side. I love you forever. You will always have a special place in my heart and you can count on the tons and tons of visits next year and years to come. I will always be so grateful for everything you all have done, some things you may not have even been aware of. I know that every one of my dance friends will go so far and I can not wait to see you killing it. Thank you.
