So Thankful

Recently I have had lots of time to sit and reflect on the wonderful people in my life. After watching a TV show today with a family that experienced tradegy so suddenly, I started thinking about how lucky I am and how thankful I really am for those around me. Just watching this show taught me to never take for granted the people I love and to never hesitate to tell them just how much they mean to me. Experiencing the lose of my Uncle last summer made me realize that you can lose people in an instant without ever getting the chance to tell them how much I really do love them. To everyone in my life, I love you. Such simple words that I feel I do not say enough. Thank you. Another two words which I can never say enough to those who have stuck by me through thick and thin. First and foremost, Joey, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the wonderful, amazing person you are. And for taking care of me and Kayden with so much love and support. I cannot picture my life without you and I look forward to growing old with you. I love you more than you will ever know Mom, I cannot thank you enough for everything you do for me. Words cannot express my appreciation for you. You are an amazing Mom and an even more amazing Grandma. I love you so much. Dad, you are one of the most hard-working people I have ever met in my life. Thank you for everything you do for us and for being such an amazing Dad and Grandpa! I love you! Connie, I don't even know where to begin. You are my Mom as much as my own Mom is. You have been such an amazing support when I have needed you the most. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met! Thank you for just being you! And for being such a wonderful Mom and Mama!! I love you! Nana, once again, I don't know where to begin. I never got to meet my Grandmothers, so I am so thankful I have you. You are an absoultely amazing person with such a beautiful heart. I cherish the time I get to spend with you and love chatting about anything and everything. I really do feel as though you are my Grandmother and I cannot begin to explain how much that means to me. Thank you for your love and kindness. I love you! Papa, you are such an amazing man. I love and adore your love for your Grandkids and Great Grandkids. You have the heart of gold and never cease to amaze me with how hard you have worked in your life! I love seeing Kayden light up when he sees you! You are amazing person! I love you! To the rest of the family, I was hoping to get to write to each and every one of you, but it is very late and I have had a long day of chasing around my little angel :) I love each and everyone of you and am so thankful for all you do. I really do feel very lucky to have such an amazing family and extended family. I am so proud to be a part of this family! I thank God everyday for you and cherish the wonderful life he has so graciously given me. I love you all!!

Love, Stef
