These ones

I woke up this morning and I started thinking about the people in my life. I couldn’t help but think about the ones who cried with me, the ones who cheered with me, the ones who prayed for me, the ones who are my examples, the ones who are the biggest part of my life. I started wondering what my life would be without ‘these ones’. I stopped. I stopped because without ‘these ones’ I would be a completely different person, I would not have accomplished what I have, I would not have made it through the hard times, I would not be as happy, I would not have the testimony I do, I would not me. So I write to ‘these ones;’


To Dad: Who has always been my best listener, my best advice giver and my biggest example.

To Mom: Who has unfailingly been my best friend for almost 21 years.

To Johnny: Who has shown me how to live life the right way.

To Gary: Who has always been there when I needed someone most.

To Nate: Who has always recognized my biggest needs and then quietly given it to me.

To Scotty: Who has always built me up.

To Landon: Who has truly become a combination of all of the above. Who has been my greatest blessing. Who has become the biggest, best part of my life. Who makes me feel like the most important person in the world. Who loves me unfailingly. Who, I know, I can rely on for the rest of forever.


To ‘these ones,’ thank you for making me the person I am today. I will never know how my life would be without each & everyone of you, but I know it would not be as good. Thank you. I hope one day I can give you what you have so graciously given me. I love you all.
