In life we go through many teachers in my life for you are the ones to look up to and those to learn from because you have been there and you have helped me through a lot.

Many times I didn’t want to go home because of the alcoholism in my home. I didn’t know what I was going to be there or what was going to happen. What mood my mom was in or if my dad were even home.

Thank you for staying and looking after me and teaching me to grow up. How to be presentable and not look like an orphan. Even though I felt that way at times.

Thank you for sharing your stories and showing me there was a better way. Yes there were time when I was selfish and what what I wanted because I wanted to do it better. Thank you for sharing that it isn’t right that when you take a step and share that it’s not just helping you but it is helping someone else.

I thank God for you and I thank Him for waking me up and giving me the words to say this morning and putting words into my fingers to say thank you and to tell you how much I have and do appreciate you.

Thank you to all the business people in my life for helping me through the hard times and celebrating me in the good times. You are all loved and I consider you my friends.
