Tis that time of year again where everyone is partying, eating lots, and more importantly give thanks to the things they have in their life. Some of you may or may not know but this year has not been the best year for me. Even so there are still many things and people I am thankful for.

I am thankful for my family [ at least the family that stuck by our side through these times]. Without you I don't know how I could have made it through this year. As much as we fight and bicker, I love you all very much.

-Mommy, I am sorry that I haven't been able to do much, but I will try my best to continue to do everything for the family. My heart breaks when I see you cry. You've done so much for the family and have gone through so much.. I really wish if I could.. take all the pain and put it in me again.

-David, my obnoxious pseudo twin.. We fight, we bicker, we don't see eye to eye on things, but in the end you are the one that knows me the best in the family..

-Daniene, what can I say about you other than... gah I wish you would grow up XD ! No seriously though.. I know how much it has hurt you with the things that have gone on in the family and though I don't say it much. I am very proud how much you have actually matured and "manned" up to reality. JUST STOP BUYING THINGS WILL YOU?!?!? XD

-Dane, my adorkable minnie. I am so proud of you for sticking it out in football and leading your team into the playoffs. It's ok that you didn't get to go farther than the first game but I know that next year you will go farther. Thank you for keeping the family together and lightening up the mood when things get tought. Thank you for sticking up for me when I was pushed against the wall by those going against us. I promise that I'll be with you as long as you need me.

-Po, what can I say to you .. other than you are such an ADORKABLE BRO. I am very happy and honored that you have joined our family. As much as you are playful and childish, you have a big heart and are very mature. I'm sorry I poke fun at you so much, but it is all out of love. Thanks for being a big bro to Dane and putting up with my family's craziness [though you just add fuel to the fire XD]

- Rady, my 19 year old nephew, thank you for trusting me and confiding in me what is in your heart. Seeing you smile after makes it all worth while and thanks for trusting me.

To my dear friends, I have so many things to be grateful for.. I apologize to anyone who isn't mentioned, but believe me when I say that I am thankful for each and every single friend I've made and appreciate everything you have done for me.

-Karma to my Chaos, Chloe unnie. October 31st marked 2 years that we have been friends. I am so thankful to have met and befriended such an amazing person.

Thanks for being brutally honest with me about everything and looking up to me as an unnie.

-May, my new dongsaeng from Florida ^-^. Thanks for chatting with me and confiding in me as an unnie. You are by far one of the most headstrong people I've met and I admire that about you. I am impressed that you have stuck out with things you felt are worth fighting for unlike this unnie. My your heart stay strong always.
