So another Christmas has come and gone and this Christmas I have learned to appreciate the ones I love a whole lot more.  Having been away from family and church folk alike, and especially being away from the one I love for the past four months has naturally brought me to a point where i appreciate them all a whole lot more than ever before.

 

For my family,

Thank you for all the support, particularly in the area of finance.  Beyond that i have realised how great it is to have a family that loves and supports one another.  In the past i may have taken my family for granted but having experienced life without them for a while i realise now how much i do truly love and care for you all.  I know that there will never be a moment where i wont feel your support and love.  Though we may have differences as do all families, realise that life is too short for petty grudges and if there are broken or burnt bridges it is not too late to repair or rebuild them.  Never take each other for granted.   I have never felt more appreciative of my family.  I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  And i will never take you for granted again. 

 

For my friends,

Okay i dont think i really take you guys for granted.  I appreciated and appreciate you guys through all.  For those of you like Kendia, CJ, Tiny, Kayla, Shavan, Mark, John, and others who have randomly dropped me lines even while i was away the past semester, I thank you.  It is great to have that link to home and church especially.  Thanks to Judy and Carlos for continuing to email me with the progress of the Praise team and CLub 513 respectively, helps me to feel like i am still a part of you guys though i may be miles away.  To anyone i may not have mentioned by name, its all good, there are too many names to remember anyway. 

PS to my Acadia, IGCA, RHBC, BOT peoples do not feel left out, there is much love for you guys as well, but you have had me for the past four months, so this aint for you.  Notice i still did shout you out though.

 

For Paige,

You know i love you and from now on I cannot imagine spending Christmas without you.  This having been our first Christmas together, it has been an amazing one and we set a high bar for all the Christmases to come.  I thank God for greatest gift He has given to me next to Jesus.  You are a beautiful and amazing person.  Seeing as this is quite public I wont get too much deeper.  But you know that I love you and i appreciate you about ten levels more than before.  I will definitely never take you or your love for granted.

 

Seeing as this is now beginning to hit true blog levels, i shall end now.  I hope all of you guys had a great Christmas and were not too caught up in the gifts and whatnot to forget the true reason for the day that we celebrate, not Junkanoo, not the food, not the gifts, but the gift that God sent us which is his son Jesus.  Merry Christmas to all and to all Good night!!
