Thank you!

Thank You to those that have hurt me.  You have made me a stronger person.  You have shown me who I do not want to be.  You have helped me see what I need.  You have given me the clarity when seeking relationships.

Thank You to those that have loved me.  You have helped me see what love really is – even when it hurts sometimes.  You have made my heart a little bigger.  You have made my soul a little happier.  You have shown me that giving love is receiving love.

Thank You to those that have believed in me.  You have made me feel worth it.  You have helped me believe in myself.  You have helped me become who I am today.  You have made my dark days a little brighter.

Thank You to those that have passed before me.  You have helped me understand grief.  You have helped me understand that there is more to life than today.  You have helped me place value in greater things.  You have helped me appreciate the little things.  You have helped me have empathy for those I will meet with grief in the future.

Thank You to those that chose to stay in my life.  You have taught me the meaning of loyalty.  You have helped me break down my walls.  You have taught me what true friendship really is.  You have taught me what it means to fight for what you believe in on the days and weeks that you want to give up.

We have all stumbled upon each of these people in past days and we will continue to stumble upon more.  They each hold value.  Pain and struggle bring strength and courage.  Thank you to all of you!
