My dad: I know your never going to get to read this, but I really miss you and wish you would come back. It's hard to live without you. I know so little because you died when I was so little. You mean the world to me really. I just wish you could come back for one day just so I could tell you everything all right and that moms doing a great job of raising all of us with my grandparents help. I wish I could tell you all the great things I've done over the years. I know in my heart that you know everything I've done but I'd still like to tell you. But I guess it's like the song goes One more day One more time One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied, But then again I know what that would do Keep me wishing still for one more day with you. I know it's meant as a love song but I see it as something else. I almost cried the first time I heard it. In my opinion it was one of the best songs Diamond Rio put out.

My mom: Thanks for everything. Thanks for always being there to help me along. Thanks for going the extra mile to make sure I'm doing my best. Thanks for listening to me when I need you to listen and thanks for even listen when I was just mumbling. You’re the best. You've raised me to be a great person. I know I will do great in the future because of you and Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks so much.

Grandma: Thank you for helping me along the way. You’re my adult hero. You’re great. In my eyes you’re perfect without any faults. I really love you forever thing you've done for me.

Grandpa: Well I'm not sure how to say it but by the little paragraph I wrote about you. I've had people ask me aren't you ashamed of that old piece of junk. I always just look at them in smile. Nope, and that's all I say. No one else sees what I see in that old blue truck. The just see an old car. I see more. In that blue paint I see the blue cloudless sky that hovers above me on those summer days of fishing at Lake Fredrick. In those side mirrors I see my past and remember to always look back, because there is always something to learn from the past. I'm proud of that old boat rake that cares that old canoe. I'm proud of that old truck bed that I've played in some many times. I'm especially proud of those little white signs on each door. The ones that say Roach's Shop in big bold letter. I'm proud to ride in the passenger’s side. Out of all of this I'm most proud of the person who drives that truck. The man who always sits behind that wheel. He's one of the kindest people I know. He takes me every summer to see my great grandma in West Virginia. He takes me fishing at Lake Fredrick. This man is my grandfather. My grandfather is everything to me. He's always been there to teach me how to use a saw, how to use a sander, how to build things, and how to mow with a riding lawn mower to name just a few things. He may not be perfect, but in my eyes he's as perfect as they come. So if you ever wonder am I ashamed of that big blue truck, my answer will be no. And if you ever ask me if I'm ashamed of my grandfather, my answer will still be no.

Renee: remember running around the play ground like little unicorns with wings. I don't remember why but I don remember running around. I even still have some of the pictures we drew. That first year of friendship was great, but at the end I had to leave. You said you would wait for me and you did. Now I'm back and were best friends. Everything’s cool. Anything that happens we deal with it together. We may have lost friends over the years, but at least we haven't lost each other. I've heard many say Lose a friend gain so much more. Well I believe the saying lose your best friend lose all your friends. I still have my best friend so I haven't lost anything yet. Please never change and remember no matter what anyone says you and me will make it in the future. We will both get what we want. That's all that matters. Remember were judges by the company we keep and how well we keep it. Stay true to your self and never turn back. You the past to guide you in the present and the present to guide you in the future. Sisters forever. SAF.
