A letter to all those who helped me,

Growing up was never easy, but you all were able to help me in different ways that fit together perfectly. Everyone needs people to support them and cheer them on, and I am forever thankful that I had all of you. With the difficulties I had through school and life in general, you guys were always right there for me to fall back on. I never felt alone or unwanted because I

First off, thank you for all the emotional support you gave me. Whenever I was feeling down or needed someone to lift my chin up you guys were always right there to help me feel better. Thank you for always going out of your way to make sure I was having a good time with things we were doing and through life in general.

A family isn't always those who share blood with you. They aren't only the ones you live with and spend holidays with. Family is so much more than any of that. Thank you guys for being the family support system I was needing. I never felt alone when I had you guys by my side. I always knew that I had someone to fall back on when I didn't feel strong enough alone. You weren't forced to do anything for me, but you did it out of full love and willingness. It truly makes me feel loved that people would do that for me. I will never be able to explain how much it means to me.

Thank you for leading me closer to God and closer to the path that I am meant to be on. Thank you for never giving up and continually pushing me forward. One day when I have kids, I sure hope that they have people like you to uplift them when they won't listen to me. I hope that they have not only their blood family but an outside family and support system to help them become who they are meant to be.

I may not talk to all of you guys anymore, but I hope life is going well. I truly want the very best for every single one of your lives. With everything that you did for me, I'm here to do the same for you guys. Never forget how thankful I am for you guys. I hope that you guys always feel the way you made me feel. I know when you guys have kids they will be lucky to have you as their parents.

Thanks to the impact you guys made on me, I now have the knowledge to help others. When I see people who need people to uplift and inspire them I am right there to support them and give them the advice you gave me. It's a chain that I hope to keep growing. Maybe one day when the kids I'm helping grow up, they will do it for someone else. Thank you for beginning the chain of support.

I love you dearly,
