thanksgiving

i'm thankful for so much in my life...

i won't be around for the next few days, so it'd prolly be good to get these things down now.

i can't put into words how thankful i am for the family that is close to me.
my mother is amazingly supportive. throughout the past six years, she has been absolutely wonderful about listening to what is going on in my life, working to understand and accept my decisions, and helping me in any way she can - even if it means restricting her own means/life.
my stepdad, while unhappy with our religious/moral differences, has made visible effort to respect where i am in life. while most of the support i get comes from my mother, i'm always aware that her support comes with his blessings. they have helped me so much over the past years, and i have no doubt that he wouldn't have it any other way.
my grandparents are insanely amazing people, in their own special ways.
my grandmother loves me unconditionally, and makes it no secret that i'm her favorite granddaughter - there is nothing i could ever do to be turned away from her.
my grandfather is a brilliant and amazing man, and it saddens me to see him struggle with depression, health problems and an overall lowered standard of life. it is amazing to me that he's able to go through all this without losing his good spirits of witty sarcasm. he watches all of us with an attentive, even if sometimes distant, eye, and offers support even if doesn't intellectually agree with the circumstances we live in.

the amazing love and support they have given me is a big catalyst for my decision to drop contact with my father, and i'm amazingly grateful to them for showing me what love really is, and allowing me the strength to reject the fakeness of my father's claims.

i still don't know how i lucked out enough to have sol3 in my life. he's amazingly wonderful - caring, supportive and patient as well as being damn adorable and brilliant. i've never experienced this level of trust and respect, and i'm grateful for it every day.

tobi; five years seems like both such a short and long amount of time. we've both grown so much in that time, and i'm incredibly grateful that we've grown side by side and still have a lot to offer each other. i look forward to our next trip, and to eventually being aunt-yulia to your future brat.

all the wonderful people in my life. i look up to and adore my friends, often being really confused what such wonderful people see in me - whatever it is you do see, i hope you keep seeing it.

my house. i've lived there for almost 4 years now - the longest i've lived anywhere since i was 10 - and over time, it has really evolved into being a home. i love it, and will be really sad to leave it when the time comes.

my kitty. she's the best kitty in the world, and i'm amazed that she still loves me after this weekend. but she does - she loves and trusts me and that's something i really treasure.
