My strongest influencers, you truly changed my life for the better in ways I can hardly begin to express. You introduced me to the electrifying world of rock music, opening my ears and heart to its powerful rhythm. You taught me invaluable lessons about what to watch out for when it comes to boys, helping me navigate those tricky waters with confidence. You also instilled in me my sense of humor, proving that laughter is often the best medicine, and made me see the incredible potential within myself, which I may have overlooked otherwise. You built upon my survival skills, equipping me with tools that have served me well throughout my journey. I am genuinely better and stronger for having known each and every one of you.
Gus and Stacy, you are the amazing big brothers I always wished for and dreamed of having by my side. You will forever be deeply imprinted in my heart, no matter what happens. You both kept me on a positive and constructive path, guiding me every step of the way. I truly believe that without your unwavering support and guidance, I would not have developed the strength and confidence I carry with me today.
Wendy and Melissa, I truly believe that I would not be the strong and resilient woman I am today without the two of you by my side. You both have played such a significant role in my life, helping me discover and embrace the incredible power I possess deep within. Your unwavering support and encouragement have shaped me in ways I can hardly put into words.
Les and Jeff, you were my very first little nephews, and I will always treasure those memories. You were the cutest little boys, filled with laughter and joy. So sweet and so fun, I genuinely enjoyed every single moment I got to spend with you both. Les, it still breaks my heart that you left us way too early. I am so incredibly sad that I never got the opportunity to see you in your adult years, to witness the amazing person you became. Jeff, I can hardly contain my excitement as I think about the day I see you again. Until then, Go Pack Go!
