My Family

In this, my third blog, I want to reflect on how being a Bonner and becoming friends with the Alfonds has truly had a profound impact on my life. Through all the time spent since August together, I have NEVER been surrounded by a group of such caring, intelligent, and just outright amazing people. I will cherish the friendships I have made through these groups for the rest of my life and I cannot explain just how lucky and grateful I am to simply be one of your friends. I want every single one of you to know that I love you all. In every single individual, I see a unique flame shining in your words, actions, and demeanor. I have made life-changing memories with many of you, and if I haven't already, I look forward to it in the future. You guys are my everything; my inspiration, my support group, my family.

I can't help but just get a little choked up when I think about all the simple things that you guys do that make me love you so. My day isn't complete without seeing at least one of you. I know I may annoy some of you quite often, but it's only because I feel comfortable enough around you guys to show my weaker sides that haven't been revealed until this year. Spending these last few days with you guys has reminded me of these things and so I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for everything you do.

I love you.
You are my family.
Thank you.
