I thank you

for telling me 

that anything is possible,

that anything can be achieved,

that the sky is not the limit,

that there are no limits.

I thank you

for guiding me

through hard times,

through dark times,

through heartbreak,

through tears.

But most of all,

I thank you

for holding my hand

when I needed a friend,

when I needed an angel,

when I needed an ear.

I thank you,

my loved ones,

for making me

me.
