"There's a couple people that I owe a beer or two and three or four that I owe more than a few for all the times I couldn't find the answers, stumbling through the dark without a clue... this one's for you. Mom and Dad, they always did their best for a crazy fool who couldn't help himself. I thank god that they were there to see me through... this one's for you. I told you all that I'd write you a song pour my heart into the melody to keep you singing along, this might not be the right time, these might not be the right lines to prove for saying what I'm trying to, but this one's for you..."

- Luke Combs, This One's For You

To the person who has always been my person, my human diaries, my sweetest hello & my hardest goodbye, someone who loves my unconditionally, the person who pushes me every single day to be a better person, the ones who turns tears into laughter, and everyone in between- this is for you.

Thank you. Thank you for loving me when I'm tired and rude. When you've taught me everything I know. When I'm sleepy and cranky. When I'm not paying any attention. When I'm giving you advice and even when I'm not always nice. When we're dancing on top of tables and in the bed of pickup trucks. When we're just riding around and following our favorite artists tour bus. When we make spontaneous decisions to go out to eat or to take a road trip. When things get weird at PCB. When I leave school on the weekends and I'm always out of town. When I go to your city and need someone to show me around. When I don't text back for three days. When I miss class or show up with wet hair and no makeup on. When I force you to come out and tag along on Wednesday nights. When I say something stupid and do things no one understands but you always do. When I pray a little longer or talk a little too much. When it's summer and I sometimes seem to go M.I.A. When you borrow my clothes and wear them better than I ever could. When I act like all of your stuff is mine. When my life gets crazy, but you still stick around. When I call you late at night to tell you about my day. When life gets the best of me and when life pours out the good stuff. When you hold my hand and dry my tears and we laugh until the sun comes up. When I don't give myself enough credit and do the same to you. When I need advice or an outfit to wear. When I let my country side out in public. When you let me use the aux cord. When I pour my heart out to you. When I'm crying over a boy. When I just want you to stay a little while longer. When I call you at 4a.m. just because I want to hear your voice. When I show up randomly at your door. When I cry because of some situation I made up in my head. When I'm late and we had plans for over a month. When I crash on your couch on the weekends.

Thank you. Thank you a million times from the bottom of my heart for riding bikes to fraternity houses and getting your Range Rover stuck in the mud. For riding dirt roads, spending days at the river, and for all those nights I never wanted to end. For all the memories out in the woods. For field parties on Saturday nights and church on Sunday mornings. For game days, homecoming parades, and all of the support. For calling me out when I'm out of line. For always being up for an adventure. For pretending that you love dance fitness and haunted houses just as much as I do. For endless laughter, tutoring me, being my mentor, bible studies, and always being just a phone call away. For never giving up on me or kicking me when I'm down. For SnapChatting for over 400 days. For being the stranger who turned into one of the most incredible people in my life. For loving me despite every flaw. For being you. For understanding my obsession with Bryce Harper, hunting, and taking pictures. For everything I missed. Thank you for always being there and thank you for everything. And if there was anything I forgot to say... thank you, thank you, thank you.
