| after church today i sat down in my room nd thought bout people God had placed in my life. As the scrapbook in my head flipped from page 1 to the end, memories flooded back to me and tears flowed down my cheeks.
*you made me realize the world is beautiful*
Robin Rubinstein- I can use the ocean as paint and the sky as my canvas to paint you a picture to show you my gratitude, but you see, that wouldn't be enough. You're not just my friend robs, you're my sister. Older by merely 11 days, you took care of me when I felt alone. Ridiculed me when i was out of line, and laughed silly with me like two 3 year olds. You befriended me when no1 else would, you looked at me when every1 turned away. You tasted all my tears, felt all my heartaches yet have experienced greater joy when I smile. I will always be there for you, always watch over you like you have done for me. You're an angel on earth Wobbie, Thank you God for sending her.
Paul Tran- Growing up as an only child I was spoiled by all. Being the brat that I am, I've always had what I wanted Nonetheless I still felt lonely, the loneliness parents can't talk me out of. The loneliness friends can't distract me from. The loneliness that hunts you at your lowest point. I want an older brother. You have appeared in my life Paul, and you have been everything a brother i imagined would be. We've had our share of fights and bickering, but you are close to me like family. I look up to you like a brother. Once I fell playing basketball, every1 stopped to look at me, sitting on the ground, legs bleeding a little, you picked me up and asked if i was okay. Then i was embarrassed for falling and for the attention every1 cast my way, but now I thank you and tell you how much I love you for being my brother. I'm so proud!
*you shaped and molded me into the person i am today*
God- It's been 5 years since I declared to the church, my loved ones, and friends, that I was a follower of Christ. But in this time, I've grown closer to you, developed bigger faith, and realized wut a huge loser I was before. I still have much to learn, many things to revise, but I know that YOU know I'm working on it everyday. And i know and believe that YOU are with me every step of the way. When you brought me back to my parents, you won me over. When you made me a proud sister, my faith jumped, heart swelled with joy and thankfulness, and became even firmer in my believe. I'm not the person I was before, all because you told YOU LOVED ME
Mom- you're incredible. I know I will never be like you, i won't even come close. you juggle so much in life, im worried that it'll all come crashing down on you one day. you created our life in NJ, dad was in school gettn his PHD while you funded him and this family. You were 7 months pregnant with twins and still driving 40 minz a day to the community college for the ultrasound program. By then u couldnt even sit for 10 minz straight. u wer completely skin and bones yet u dragged ur big tummy around on errands, shopping trips, nd to school/library/movies/sports for ur daughter. after bringing two healthy babies into the world, u stayed up night after night feeding, changing, enduring their cries. Now that grandparents came, you once again picked up your book bag and went back to school. Every night you'd come home, go down to the basement and work on your homework, when you have a 2 second break, you'd pick up a little one nd feed, change, play with him/her. I look at all this with tear in my eyes, and tears in my heart. And i hate, absolutely despise myself for everything else i asked you to do for me. every other pressure i put on your shoulders. Mom, you have done enough for me, for this family. take a rest. YOU DESERVE IT!
Dad- What would I do without you? What would we do? Ever since we moved to PA, dad's been the only one working. At first he only had to put food on the table for mom and i. Now he feeds 7 mouths. He works his ass off then comes home nd tries to please every1, from his parents, now already almost 70 to his two young children only 6 months of age. Then on weekends, he drags the whole family out to church and other sightseeing trips for my grandparents. On top of all this, he still has time to pop in his head to say "luce, get workn on ur SAT's" when I was little, he spent all his time with me, parks, zoos, museums. I was the princesses in his heart. Now when we have time to sit down nd chat, he makes sure that I'm up-to-speed at school, not having trouble w/ friends, nd even worries bout my future. Dad you look older, no longer that young handsome king who played soccer wimme in the backyard. you have gray hair now dad... you'll always be young in my heart, you're always my king
*you made me visualized God's creativity in his creations*
Alex Young- wow! What can't you do? From Sax to piano to self-learning the violin to chess to composing to swimming to being a great friend. I really dont know u all that well but from wut I do know, you incredible. The music talent's def ther but you also attract people w/ ur personality. Your carefree philosophies makes me wonder why i even feel any anger, resentment, and sadness. Your strong faith in God powers all those around you. Your humorous playfulness always puts the smile on my face. And you can always listen to me and my troubles. I believe we'll always be friends for life.
Jason Shun- I definitely don't know as well as I would like either but you're like Shakespeare the second. The words you pick, the places you drop them, and the smoothness you radiate from your writings makes me respect you all that much. Not only are you awesome grammatically, you also pick great topics to write about. You will change the world one day with that talent.
Jamae Akers- when you're famous one day, dancing, singing on stage. Remember I get first Cd and front role seats. Every1 in school knows how good you are. The emotions you can dance out, the feelings you can orate with your voice, the beauty, the grace, I'm astounded. Keep it up, your dream will come true!
Amy Liao- do you even know how smart you are?! 1400 some on SAT in 8th grade, number one or two in the country for the French something Exam, top student in school, you make us look bad girl! The time you put into achieving your accomplishments, the determination, and the competitive spirit is something we can all learn from. I'm proud of you ames, I'm also jealous
*you taught me how to be a better person*
Melissa- to not talk behind other people, you taught me through your actions for not gossiping at the lunch table
Susan- to loosen up and joke once in awhile, life is only so short, even if amy thinks wer just being immature
Jenni- that guys will come and go, but friends will always be right there beside you when you need that shoulder to cry on
Erica- to dance, not only on stage, also in life
chris- that you should never give up hope on the one you love
Dennis- that you can make friends, whenever, wherever and people are not always how they seem, you can't judge a book by its cover
cathy- that innocence is really truly beautiful
Jen Lee- honesty is the best policy
Jen Yu- beauty is what's on the inside, you're beautiful jen! i luv u so much
Kai- that laughter is the best medicine and that you like me more than *justine*
Angie- that love is like a rose, so delicately beautiful, so sharp with thorns.
Peter- and you...you taught me to love
