your "V" is for victory

how do i thank you ...

jackie,
always there for the support,
ever-loving, ever-caring,
i know no one with a heart as big as yours

yu,
always confident in me,
willing to defend me from my own doubts,
true loyalty is as rare as a friend like you

joming,
always cheering me on with endless smiles and hugs
a mentor, a pupil, a peer, a partner, an equal,
someone whom i look up to despite walking next to me

sarah
always there for laughter and wisdom,
showing me how the strength of conviction
can be so human

mom & dad,
always providing me the balance i need,
dad, always preparing me for reality, and
mom, always believing in the best of me

kent,
always there to make me laugh things off,
forget the frustration,
and make the wait as fun as possible

snowy,
always there for all of it.
the highs. the lows. the not-worth-mentioning's.
you have been there, holding your breath, when i lost hold of mine.

how can i thank you ...
