Message to my parents:

You guys have done so much for me and I know I don’t thank you enough. You have always been there for me no matter what. You will always drop anything and everything even if it’s a small thing I might need from you guys. I don’t remember one time in the past 10 years of me playing volleyball that you haven’t been at a game cheering me on. You can always tell when I’m not myself and you always know what I need without me having to ask you and that is the best gift anyone could ask for, you know me more than myself. I wouldn’t have made it this far without you guys. If I am even half of the people you are, that is more than enough to me. I love you both so much more than words can describe.
