Thank you EVERYONE who wished me a happy birthday on facebook and texts and twitter and handwritten cards! Some of you guys wrote me such encouraging messages and it reminded me of the family of brothers and sisters in Christ that I have in my life. I really wish some of them were handwritten!

Thank you Sujin for buying me cake, coffee, and bbang in the morning before I went to work! Thank you Masao and Seokwoo for getting the cake last night!

Thank you Aerhe Noona and John for your card and gift! Can’t wait for your guys wedding in Aruba in November!

Thank you people at my pharmacy rotations who baked me a cake and let me go early off of work haha! I was able to get a nice restful rainy day! 

Thank you to all the KCC youth group kids who wished me a happy birthday-some of your guys birthday wishes were the most memorable and meaningful to me :) I thank all of you guys each for your individual birthday wishes and the laughters (some I legit LOLed) and smile it brought to me! You guys show/remind me God’s love the most. And it’s amazing to know that God has used a nobody like me to impact your guys lives in little ways and for you guys to impact my life as well! I will always be your guys older brother in Christ/gay best friend hahaha….(and I do say that little hesitantly haha). Summer is here and retreat is coming around-so let’s pick up where we left off last summer and get ready to have fun :) I won’t be able to hang out with you guys as much as I did last summer but we’ll make the most of it!

Thank you for my family for just being who you guys are! Simple but true. Wouldn’t be here and who I am without you guys. 

And finally, and most importantly, thank you God for bringing me this far. Thank you so much for pulling me through especially this year with all of its ups and downs that I’ve never faced in my life before. Thankful with all that you’ve given and done for me this past year…and yet, to know that there is so much more to come!!! Thank you for giving me another day to love You.
