“The book is over, but before you stop reading and I fade into your memory forever, I want to tell you I love you”
Special Thank You
A “Thank You” is one of the most powerful phrases
you are capable of saying. Use it often.
Richard and Barbara: I do not know how to put this into words. As I’m writing this there are so many things in my mind that you guys have done for me and I could write another book to fill all that in there, but for now, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being the grandparents I never had, but I needed. Thank you for the years of help and the days of fun times and memories we have had together. I love you two more than I can put into words.
Pastor David: I know I am not the best at getting to church every weekend, but I still want to thank you for every lesson you have given to me while I am there. I have so many good memories of the times I’ve spent in church and most of that was because of you. You’re a great teacher, preacher, and role model.
Kathy, Christina, Jeff, Jami, and Susan: It is rare for me to go into someone’s home and feel the way I feel about you guys. You have accepted me as your family member, and I see you as my brothers and sisters. I will always cherish our relationship and look forward to the days when I can afford to visit you guys more often.
Angie: I just cannot say thank you enough for everything. You’re the most unique girl I’ve meet at UWF, I love your personally so much. I am thankful that you are always there for me when I need the help. I appreciate and love you very much. You’re my best friend forever.
Angelina: “Turn down for what” our relationship is a party, our friendship is mutual love, and I know wherever I go in life, I’ll be able to call you and plan a trip somewhere and have some fun. You’re the life of the party and you’ll always be the most reliable fun person I know.
Michael: There is no one that I feel more confident that when I get older I can call up and we will still be friends but you. You are my brother no matter what. When we go to Europe it’ll be you and I. When I get old, it’ll be you and I taking our kids to soccer practice. You’re my best friend without a doubt and I love you so much brother. Don’t let the fact that I’m always so busy make you think otherwise.
Daniel: I remember you and I used to have nights where we went out and no one knew where we were. We had so many hearts to hearts and I feel like I’ve never connected with anyone on that level my whole life. You are one of my favorite people regardless of anything and when you need me, I’ll be here for you.
Val: There is no summer without you and I going everywhere together. I know the first time I meet you I wanted to fight you but now I’ll always have your back. You’re my boy and you’re the only one that always makes sure I’m having fun when I’m home. I hope that after college is over we will be able to have an epic lifestyle together.
Little Bro: If and When, you will be taken good care of and we’ll make great memories together, not just in the Fraternity but also in life. I never make promises I don’t keep and I hope you’re ready to experience the world and make memories that you can tell your kids when you get old. Welcome to my family.

This is one of my favorite quotes and the most true question I’ve ever pondered.
