I Owe You

This page is dedicated to the people who have made a difference in my life somehow or the other. Whether good or bad, making me happy or sad. I'm thankful for them all because those people have made me the person I am today.

Mom & Dad
I guess I should start by saying 'Thank You'
for all the things you've done for me
and the things you'll continue to do.
Like giving me life, raising me, and changing all those diapers;
for building me up and calming me down when I got too hyper.
For the way you helped me when I fell and hurt my knee.
For all the times you've laughed and cried with me.
For all the times you stood beside me.
Thank you just for loving me.

Then, I guess I should 'I'm sorry'
for all the times I made you worry.
Like the time I came home way too late
or the time that I couldn't walk too straight.
Then there's the time when I said something that I didn't need to say
or the times you told me to do something and I kinda didn't obey.
What about the times I did do something you specifically told me not to.
What I'm trying to say is 'I'm sorry' for every time I disappointed you.

After I'm through doing all that, I need to let you know that 'I Love You'
for letting me be myself but being sure to add little pieces of you.
For being there during those happy times and holding my hand when I cried.
For puching me when I fell behind and helping me out when I got myself in a bind.
For being strict with your rules but being able to bend.
I love you mainly for being my best friends.

My Best Friend
Thanks Keri

You almost know me better than I know myself.
You help me through the bad times, you're there during the good.
You've been my shoulder to cry on many times
and always lend a smile when I need one.
You listen when I babble and give me the advice I need.
You never hide the truth from me even when you know it could hurt
because you know I need to hear it.
You are beside me when I make my mistakes and help me to 'get over it'.
You have also kept me from making some huge ones.
We've seen our good times and our bad times
and I hope to God that we see many more together
'cause I know you will be able to help me
and will always lend a hand or a smile when I need it.
I thank God above everyday for you,
my pal, my buddy, my BEST FRIEND.

Keri, I know you like frogs and this one reminded me of you.

excerpt from 'Life Lessons'
Author Unknown

To someone who broke my heart more than once.
I'll probably never be able to say this to your face
but you know who you are and I can now say 'Thank You'.

"Sometimes people come into your life
and you know right away that they were meant to be there,
to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson
or to help you figure out who you are and who you want to become.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible,
painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection
you find that without overcoming those obstacles
you would have never realized your potential,
strength, will-power, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness,
and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart;
forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust
and the importanceof being cautious to when you open your heart."
