ignore the sappy
As graduation nears and as college starts to come closer into view, I have been starting to reflect. There are people that need to be thanked and people that deserve much more than I can give them. For these people, I give them some words. You can choose to read them or not.
Mom,
You have always been there for me, through thick and thin. At the beginning, we were living in some slummy areas and I know you rarely saw me. I know you and I didn't connect as much as you might have hoped when I was a small child. Fear not, for you have delivered me from the dark times. You songs put me to sleep and took away some of the awful nightmares of the day. From the afternoon where we discovered that our house had been robbed and ransacked, until now, you have always helped me. Thank you understanding about who I am. I speak to you as both a daughter and a son. I love you with all of my heart Momma. I really do.
Your child,
Emily/Antonio
Dad,
The days in the MG; I'll never forget them. You always made the best out of the worst situation. When you and mom split, I was too young to remember. But when I realized what I divorce was, I was confused. I was alone, and I thought I had something to do with it. Now I know that you both love me very much. I know that the fights between you two happened because you cared. You always have cared. You have taught me morals and how to be a real man in the world. Though you don't know who I really am like, you have always been there. I am sorry that I have lied to you for so many years. You have no idea how much it pains me to look into your big blue eyes and have to lie. But that will no longer exist. I love you, Dad.
Your child,
Emily/Antonio
Meghan,
Do you have a phone? No, seriously. This is how we met, and we have been a rollercoaster since then. There have been some bad dips and there have been some good ones. You're always one to listen, and you have no idea how much that means to me. You are a true friend, and I hope we still together through college. I will miss your antics very much. Since fourth grade, we have known each other, and I think without you, I would be lost.
Thank you.
Love,
Emily/Tony/Whatever the fuck you want to call me
Angela,
We've been friends for so long. You and I have done so many things together, and it is going to be really hard to leave you behind. But, fear not. I'll come visit whenever I can, and I'm sure you can stay a few nights in my dorm, if you want. We can internets it up, and go find you a real man. x3
You have always been there for me, and we truly grew up together. Thanks for being an awesome person.
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME.
Love,
Emily
Trevor,
You're a little squirt, but I truly love you like a brother. You have always been by my side, through some hard and good times, and I appreciate it. You shall always be a little brother in my eyes, and I will always be there to watch your back. However, should you do something in the dumbass catagory, I'll have to nail you in the nuts. It's just what brothers do for each other.
Love,
Tony
Jackie,
You're a sweet heart. Thank you for listening to me, and thank you for always being such a loyal, compassionate person. Your beauty knows no bounds, and I wish you the very best. I hope we keep in touch and I hope we have a great ghost tour this summer!
Love,
Antonio
Cai,
You are a sweety. You and I have talked about plot stuff and serious, personal things for about a year or so now. I think of you like a dear friend, and I hope one day we can meet and just talk. You're such an interesting and caring person and I love you for it. Expect a gift sometime in the near future.
Love,
Tony
Dave and Jess,
So we all just met near the middle of this year, so what. I can't emphasis how much you two totally rock. Your kindness knows no bounds, and expect something for it. I don't know what it will be yet, but I hope you two will like it. It is the least I can do for you two. I guess I have to say that your understanding and the way you care just..makes me feel warm inside. Thanks guys, for everything.
Love,
Antonio
Kazuu and Jenn,
I love you both. You two are always there to cheer me up or just to say hi. I am really glad we met and I hope to have more adventures with you guys later on. Rock on!
Love,
Antonio
Amanda and Kara,
The Sparda Twin duo. What would I do without you guys? Seriously. Though we haven't really talked in a while, you two have left a serious impression on me. I admire your skills both as people and as writers. You never cease to amaze me. I wish you both the best of luck.
Love,
Antonio
Kham,
You're a lovely person, and you're all to kind to me. Thank you for having my back.
Love,
Antonio
Rei,
You've been there to listen to me and you have made some beautiful things for me. Thank you for being a great person and thank you for always being there when I needed someone to talk to. Expect a gift sometime soon!
Love,
Tony
Thank you, everyone. If I didn't mention you, you still mean more to me than you could ever realize. Everyone here is wonderful and I love each and every one of you. If I could, I would indulge you guys with everything you ever wanted. I would make sure none of you or the people you loved were ever hurt.
In closing, I wish everyone the best of luck, and I hope to keep talking to you all.
