Something significant that I live by is that there is always something to be thankful for. Family, to me, is the most important thing a person needscan have and can haveneeds. It is important to know that, no matter what, your family will always be behind you. I am grateful for so many things, but family means the most to me. I never want to lose it. I know that my family will always be there for me, which makes me incredibly thankful.
