Here it is...I know this girl who means the world to me.  She is beautiful, she is smart, she is the one person I can go to if  I need to talk, vent, need a good laugh, or even just to say hi cuz I am bored..She has been there for me for the last 23 years of my life...we have had our ups we have had our downs but through it all we have always managed to find our way to each other.  The hardest thing I ever did was Feb 16th 2005..That is when I moved to North Carolina and had to leave her behind.  And although now we have our seperate lives in seperate states we still manage to put aside at least 10 minutes a day to talk to each other to make sure all is alrite. We are still there for each other and help each other out as much as we can which I did not think was possible 783 miles away. She manages to put a smile on my face on my  worst days and a frown on my face on her worst days but by the end of our convo i can guarentee that we are both smiling again.  She is the one i trusted to be my Son's Godmother and man does she love that lil guy........I love her more then anyone will ever know she is the sister i never had growing up and i would not know what i would do if i ever lost her.  she knows who I am talking about and I hope that now she knows how i feel....Thank you for being in my life and making each day easier and most of all thank you for being my Best friend......

I LOVE YOU STACEY ANN SMITH

Not many people have the expirience of having brothers in their life as for me i am blessed to be able to have 3 of the most wonderful brothers a sister can have. I love you guys and thank God everyday to be able to have you in my life..........

Ricky,

I do not know you as well as i would like but from what i do know and from the times we met i would have loved to be able to grow up having you in my life. although we can not change the past we can make the future better. i hope that we can be closer and that we can actuallly see more of each other or even talk more but I do understand how things in your life are going and i am proud of you to be making a better life for you and your family. I love you Ricky and I am glad to be able to say I have a big brother like you xoxoxoxoxo

Billy,

i must say that even though you have had a real rough life I am proud of you for wanting to change and make a better life for yourself and I hope that you can stick to your goal and be all that you can be (lol kirky I know but you are going into the army right)i am happy to have been able to grow up with you for as long as it was allowed and saddened at the same time that we were seperated for 10 years. But all in all that was the past and this is the future and i hope that we will never be seperated again. I am proud of you and i hope that you can be proud of yourself in time. things will get better for you so please remember Always forward never Backwards. I love you XOXOXO

Dawn

27 years without you in my life is something i wish i never had to expirience but unfortunatly it happened and it was beyond our control. God works in mysterious ways and his way was through this crazy thing we call the internet. Whatever works. Since you have been in my life i have this special feeling of love that i have never had and that is the love of a sister. In the last 2 and 1/2 years we have been through more then we should have gone through some of it alot harder then others but we were there for each other and i hope that we will be able to be there for each other till we can not be anymore. I love you Dawn more then you will ever know and 27 years is nothing since i have you forever now.

your baby sister always

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Rich

Thank you for everything that you have given to me. The 1st thing is a chance at a good life without you who knows where i would be right now. you took me in your life and made me a better me. For that i will always thank you. Of course my biggest thank you is for giving me OUR TWO BEAUTIFUL BOYS. They have brightened my life well our life and for that I love you more then you know. As we reach our 8th anniversary this year i think back and think of everything we have overcome and realize there is no love like ours out there and i know that 8 years will eventually be 50 years and i look forward to growing old with the one man in my life who means the world to me. I love you babe. XOXOXOXOXOXO
