Thank you for everything you do, even when he's not here.

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend’s Family

To Anglea, I met you before I even met Hayden. We had a great relationship from the start and you'd tell me almost on a daily basis for 3 weeks, "You need to date my son", "My son needs to be with you". I'd never admit it, but the moment I saw his picture in your office, I knew I wanted to be with him. Hayden's the cutest boy I've ever seen and I'm so thankful you lead me to him. You're going to be an amazing mother-in-law to whoever Hayden ends up with.

To Jeff, you're amazing. You're an amazing father to your boys and I hope that Hayden is as good of a father and role model as you are. You set a great example for them about how to treat women, how to treat their future wives, how to be a good dad, etc. It's so good that they have such a positive male figure in their life. You always have faith in your boys and want them to live their lives happily.

To Caleb, you crack me up. You feel like a little brother to me. I know you don't like talking about Hayden being gone or missing him because you want to make sure everyone is happy. You don't like seeing me or anyone else in your family cry, and you don't like anyone being sad. You've never made me feel unwelcome or that I wasn't worthy of dating your brother.

To every one as a whole, thank you for treating me just as good as Hayden does. I'm more than happy that I'm accepted by all of you. I never feel out of place or that I don't belong. I'm so blessed to have an amazing boyfriend with a family who loves me. I know I can come to you guys with anything. You feel like one of my best friends. I'm so happy I have such a good relationship with each and every one of you and the feeling is mutual. Thank you for raising a young man who I wouldn't trade the world for, and thank you for treating me like one of your own.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
