A Thank You to My Loved Ones

Note: The "you"s in this letter can apply to specific persons (who know who they are) or to people in general who are special to me. I've significantly changed this page several times and I think this is the best way to go.

Thank you for all the support you've given me through the years. Thank you for never letting me quit and for doing everything in your power to keep me from making the worst mistakes... and for helping me clean up the ones you could not prevent. Thank you for understanding how I feel, for always being there, for offering me a cup of coffee when I needed it most. Thank you for the late nights, for talking me down from ledges and out of hysterics. Thank you for telling me I was brilliant, for telling me that the things I did mattered. Thank you for saying that I deserved better, that I will always deserve better and that I am important. Thank you for protecting me, for caring enough to always keep me safe. Thank you for never letting me quit. I love you all, more than I could ever express. You keep me sane. You keep me grounded. I don't know where I'd be without little chit chats, rushed mid-day coffee breaks, or quick messages at pivotal moments.
