1. Jesus

To Jesus, I’m the person that I am because of you. You’ve made me patient, kind and overflowing with joy. I couldn’t get through the day or even the week without you. I’m thankful for the mercy and love of you.

2. Family

To my mom, dad, two sisters and brother–you’re some of the most important people in my life. You’ve picked on me, loved me and raised me. I would probably be dead if it wasn’t for you. You fed me and made me make the right choices, even if it was against my will. I’m thankful that I was born into the family that I was.

3. Relationships

To my boyfriend of two years, you’re the love of my life. You’ve stuck with me even though I’m freaking crazy.You’ve made me a better person. You’re my best friend and I wouldn’t want to be with anyone else. I’m thankful for your love.

To my roommate, you’re a beautiful mess. It’s insane how much you’ve grown over these past couple months. You’ve become better and we’ve become closer. We had a rocky start but I’m thankful you’re my roommate. I’m thankful for your jokes and patience.

To the girls across the hall, It was pure luck that one of your mom’s asked me to help raise your bed at the beginning of this year. We’ve become such close friends, and you deal with all my crap. I can’t think of anybody else I would want to spend the year with than you guys. I’m thankful for your compassion.

4. Animals

To my dog, thank you for being so cute and fluffy. I’m waiting for you to climb into my lap every time I get home, and I wish I could bring you to college with me. You’re my love bug and I’m thankful for all your cuddles.
