My family. One of many locations and faces, but still a family. Forgive me for not having NEARLY everyone on here, but I am listing only the very few.

Mom-- It pains whenever I see someone my age who doesn't get along with their mother. I love you more than anyone on the face of this Earth, and I'm glad we have such an open, honest relationship. I know I don't help you as much as I should, and I apologize for that. Thank you for being involved in my life. You are the greatest mom I know, and I thank God every day that I have you and that you and I are so close. :)

Daddy-- Even if it doesn't always seem so, I am always paying attention to what you say. I know we aren't as close as we could be, but that doesn't mean I love you any less. That's just the way I am... Thank you for all it is that you do for Mom, Mel, and I. I'm not always as thankful as I should be, but I do notice. And I do love you.

Melissa-- Yeah, the two of us fight... a lot. But we really are close now. I'd say i miss you, but you're always home, so... ;). There's a lot that's happened, but I want you to know that, in my mind, you'll always be beautiful-- inside and out. I love being able to share clothes ! :) It'd just be nicer if you asked before barrowing my stuff. :-| Now your feet just need to grow so we can combine shoe piles !

Papa-- My Papa. I can't even begin to describe how much you've taught me; how you inspire me. Thank you so much for all you've given me. I can't help but feel I take that for granted sometimes, so I ask that you forgive me for that. Thank you also for supporting my theatre aspiration. It means so much that you would drive 2 hours just to see all of my shows... I love you.

Mimi-- You are the sweetest, most selfless and sincere person that I know. Sometimes I can be resentful, but I don't mean to be. You do so much for us, and I hope that someday I can repay but half of it. Even if I seem quiet and sullen at times, I'm there. And I feel it. I love you ! (Even though your bathroom scale lies.. :)

Nana-- You're an extremely strong woman with much spirit. I could learn a great deal just from your example. I hope that one day I become a mother who is as devoted to her children and grandchildren as you are. Thank you for showing me what inner strength truly is. I love you.
