The thing I hold most dear to my heart is my family. Things break, relationships fail, the glitter in the air will fade but your family is timeless. Even when they are no longer with you, they helped shape who you are and their memories will help shape who you will become. This picture was taken before my graduation ceremony for high school. I’ve never seen my parents so proud. There’s something so pleasing about being able to please others.

My family has been my soft place to fall everyday up until this point and everyday after, and for that I’m so blessed to have such a great support system in place.
