Something I have always known is how important my family is to me.  Over the last couple of years, and more so the last few weeks, I have discovered that good friends are just as important.  It takes a true friend to listen to you whine endlessly about something, and even better, they keep listening.  I forget to count my blessings often, and I more often to forget to say thank you to those that deserve it.  So for all of you (and you  know who you are), thank you and I love you.
