Gratitude

How do you thank people for the things they do for you in life? How do you thank

the Mentor - who gave you two years of her life, meeting with you weekly and helped you grow in all aspects of your life?
the Realtor - who gave you 5 months of his life to help you find your first home, make sure you understood everything you were signing?
the Siblings - who are there through thick and thin, make you laugh, support you, listen to you vent, and let you ask thousands of questions
the Parents - who have been there your whole life, who are great examples, who have gone above and beyond for you, encourage you and give great advice
the PA Friends - who make you feel like you are home when you are with them, who pick up right where you left off?
the SC Friends - who are there in an instant if I need them, who will help me move, who are there with a hug and a smile whenever.

How do you thank these people? You can write a note, give a hug or a gift, and just out right say it, but it's not enough! There is no way to thank these people for investing in your life. You can show you care and appreciate them in the way you live your life, but I don't know that you can ever truly express how much they mean to you. I have been struggling with this.

My parents have devoted the past 3 days solid to helping me with my house. They have been working so hard to make sure it's everything I have wanted it to be. My dad has done so much manual labor that the poor guy was really hurting today, my mom has given so much decorative advice, and helped me place things. I couldn't do it without either one of them, and there is no way to properly thank them.

So, to all those people listed above, THANK-YOU from the bottom of my hear! You mean more to me then I can ever express!!
