Dear Mom and Dad... thank you.

Two words I do not tell you enough that you deserve to hear everyday.

Thank you for everything you have done for me even when I didn't deserve it.

Thank you for loveing me no matter what even when I went through my, "I hate my parents," preteen phase.

Thank you for teaching me that everything in life is not handed to you, for teaching me the value of hard work and determination.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on even when I didn't want to talk you were always there to listen.

Thank you for letting me make mistakes, for letting me learn things on my own but always being there for when I needed help.

Thank you for always supporting me in everything I do even when it means you have to make sacrifices.

Thank you for always being patient with me even when you were on your last straw with me.

Thank you for giving me an amazing sibling and for not killing us even though we would fight all the time.

Thank you for teaching me to be confident and kind even when I didn't want to be, for showing me how to show love and affection to people even when they didn't deserve it. Thank you for showing me that same love and affection even when I definitely did not deserve it.

Thank you for all the unforgettable memories, for laughing with me and sometimes at me, for teaching me that it is ok to laugh at yourself and when it is ok to laugh at others but that it is always ok to laugh at family.

Thank you for accepting my weirdness, considering I got it from you.

Thank you for embaressing me in public and for giving me ideas on how to embarrass my future kids in public.

Thank you for teaching me how to ride a bike and swim in the deep end of the pool.

Thank you for giving me continuious support in everything I do even when I fail, for teahcing me that it is ok to fail and that you should keep trying.

If it wasn't for you I would not be the strong, confident and loving person I am today. You have taught me so much about life, love, happieness and so much more. There are no word for how much I apprciate you and your love for me. I love you mom and dad. And thank you.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
