Today is Thanksgiving. As per tradition, I always give thanks to certain people who have impacted my life.

I am thankful for...

My dearest cousin Jeffrey. This blog would not exist without you, even though yours had died. Thanks for always picking up the phone regardless of how random or stupid it is...even at 7AM. <3 The one person who shows up on this list year after year...

My beloved Aunty Tianna and Uncle Chi. You two have been my guiding light this last year. Showing me everything that I needed to know and encouraging me to pursue whatever I wanted. You've shown me what true happiness is.

My absolutely adorable Cayden. All my worries go away when I'm with you. You are true innocence. Something that I feel that I've tried to preserve within myself, but failed still. Everytime I see your adorable self I can't help but smile. Thank you for being the light in my life.

My baby Conway. You're so cute, yes you are! :) I love you oh so much even though your still oh so tiny. You, just like your brother, are the light of my life.

My Laura/Molah. When my world fell apart the person I reached to was you. Even though I had barely spoken to you too much before, I always felt like you were my only life line. We've had some great times and gotten through some moody days. And I'm so thankful to have you in my life. Life would be so boring without you. Thank you so much for always being there.

Ms. Allison Koga. The old fogie in the sorority, pretty much. Not the oldest, but close enough. Thanks for toughing it out this year. I know it's probably difficult to stay active when you know that you could be associate or alumni and not have to deal with all of the drama, but you know you love it! j/k :) Thanks for listening to my rants and ranting with me. I'd be a total loner without you.

Momma Tot. Despite all the drama of this last year, you're still here. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger right? Even with all the ups and downs there are now you're still there for me, even as an associate that doesn't want anything to do with sorority. And I thank you for always being there regardless of the day or the hour. <3 you!

Lil sis, Aileen. We've gotten so much closer this year. I'm sorry that all the drama between me and Gina got in between me getting closer to you. It was just so difficult for me to talk to anyone about anything. In a way I was isolating myself, but you were always there when I came back. <3

Desiree, my dearest pledge sister. Can always count on you to set me straight, huh? I can't wait for you to come back, sis. Good times are waiting for us.

My parents, I guess.

Dr. Muir, who has effectively told me I'd be in counseling for the rest of my life to deal with the trauma my parents have inflicted on me.

My great uncle and aunt in Hong Kong. Thanks for showing me a part of Hong Kong that I never saw or remembered. You definitely tied my heart down there.

Finally, for Gina.
