To all my dearest friends and family

Recently there have been a lot of deaths of kids my age. Today I found out someone I grew up with committed suicide, and it got me thinking. What if someone close to me committed suicide or suddenly died? What if I didn't have an opportunity to tell them how much I loved them or cared about them? I don't know how I could live with myself. So here's what I want to say to all of my amazing friends and family:

You guys are amazing! I don't know what I would do without you in my life. Each one of you have made just an impact in my life. Even if I've only known you for a short while or if I've known you my whole life. I know I haven't always been the easiest person to live with, and that's what makes all of you so special. You all have given me a lot to live for and you've given me so much advice and life lessons. I suppose I should just name a few of you...

Mom-
You are my hero. I don't know what I would do without you. You make me strong, and you are the reason I am who I am. All the good about me anyways. Thanks for sticking with me and loving me no matter what

Dad-
Thanks for supporting my dreams of college and a career. Thanks for getting me that internship and then helping me out with it. You work so hard to support our family.

Dave-
You are an amazing big brother. I know you will always tell me the truth and that you always have my back. I'm so glad we have the relationship we do. Thanks for being who you are. I hope to marry someone like you someday.

You are the best big sister a girl could ask for. Thanks for loving me even when I call and complain to you. Thanks for being one of my best friends! You are an amazing mother, and I hope to be like you some day.
