Thank You
Family Version
Thank you for turning me into the person I am today. I am not joking around. These are all serious. I know I forgot stuff and this isn’t meant to offend anyone. It is to thank you for the things you have given to me, whether it is good or bad.
Dad
Thank you for getting me into sports and steering me away from theater and music. I don’t know where I’d be today without sports.
Thank you for the sarcastic attitude and sense of humor that you gave to me. I don’t think I could live without them.
Thank you for hating parades and fireworks. I don’t understand how some people enjoy them.
Thank you for the perfectionist side of me. I only use it for stupid things though.
Thank you for advising me on my homework and papers. I know most of them sucked but you should be glad I don’t show you them anymore.
Thank you for the grey hair that I will get in years to come.
Thank you for your stubbornness (at least I think I got it from you). I am working on not being so stubborn.
Thank you for listening to my useless stats, information, and stories. I know they are boring but you sometimes listen to them.
Thank you for the bad stomach aches. Monday mornings are the worst.
Mom
Thank you for the sensitive side that I have. I like being able to show that I care and how I feel.
Thank you for you for being extremely nice to me and always being there. When I get down, I always know you’re there for me.
Thank you for signing me up for sports teams. I know Dad doesn’t like sitting through them but they’ve helped further my interest in sports.
Thank you for my love of chocolate. It’s a good and bad thing but it tastes so freaking good.
Thank you for being so lenient with us and putting us first.
Thank you for your love and compassion.
Thank you for telling me that it isn’t the end of the world if I don’t do well on a presentation or project. I always remember the time you told me that and it keeps me calm.
Thank you for sharing all your stories with me. I have something great to look forward to every time I talk with you.
Emily
Thank you for teaching me about drugs and alcohol (I know you didn’t know you were teaching me then).
Thank you for giving me the training to win arguments. We all know I’ve used the skills since then.
Thank you for inviting me to events or things to do because I know I have a lot more down time in college than the normal person.
Thank you for being a pain to share a bathroom with (It was hard sometimes) because now I know how minimal it was compared to the dumbass I share one with now.
Thank you for being curious about the things going on in my life. I like to know that people care.
Thank you for making me go to all your onstage performances and plays. It helped me understand that I don’t like attending most of those types of events. (no offense, it has nothing to do with your performance or anything to do with you)
Paul
Thank you for letting me know when no one cares about my pointless information. At least someone tells me so I don’t waste all my time talking when no one is listening.
Thank you for listening to my useless sports information and everything. I don’t even know if you listen technically since a lot of it is online.
Thank you for introducing me to music and video games that I did not open my mind to or even know about.
Thank you for hanging out with me and being one of my best friends because I know other people probably couldn’t stand me.
Thank you for speaking your mind. I know I’m a dumbass sometimes and you are willing to call me out on it.
Thank you for fighting back at me when I would try to pick on you. I deserve a punch in the face sometimes.
And yes Megan, you will be included. I'll give you your own special entry next time.
