I was going through photos on another website I came across one that really made me feel. It showed a cell phone and read, "My best friend died over the summer. I still have his number in my phone. Every time I'm upset, I still call him so I can hear his voicemail. It makes me feel better."
Reading this sent a shiver down my spine, and made me stop and really think about everything I have, everyone I love, and what it all means to me. I have so many good friends and so much amazing family, I really am lucky to have all the people I have. So, here's a little note to all of them:
Mom and Dad [and stepmom and stepdad] - you've shaped me since day one, you've help me through endless anxiety attacks and allowed me to grow and learn and be free. Thank you.
My girls - you are all seriously amazing. The time I've spent with you has been nothing short of extraordinary. The late nights, illegal actions, lessons learnt, sleepovers, bridges built, bridges burnt, love ignited, love extinguished. I'm forever here for you - a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand; I know you have been the same for me, and for this I am eternally thankful.
The few guys that have stuck around, my siblings, step siblings, and everyone in between - with your help, in big and small ways, I have grown into the person I am today. Though your contribution may be small, positive, negative, it will never be replaced and you have forever moulded me. I promise, I appreciate even the worst of factors.
To whatever degree, I love you all. I cannot imagine life without you, but I know eventually it is a reality. I hope you are all successful in life, everything you aspire to be and everything you dream and work for is earned. And yes, this includes those of you who have been negative impacts in my life. You still created a part of me. Separation is probable, death is inevitable, forever is only a life time on this earth - you will forever be a factor in mine.
- xx, Kelly.
