After this issue , we have one more to go before reaching the one-hundredth issue . It has been an amazing ride , even through some of the most difficult moments of my life .
But it ’ s during these moments , I learned who was who and some of the most important lessons of my life .
The people who prioritize their own interests when supporting you are not the ones that count . The true MVPs are the ones who selflessly show up when you need them the most , without expecting anything in return .
The majority of my closest friends have been my companions for more than twenty-five years . In all honesty and in all imaginable ways , you are family . The family I have chosen , and I would choose you time and time again .
Each and all of you are irreplaceable parts of my story , and I am blessed and fortunate to have met you . No matter the challenges we ’ ve faced , your love for me has always stayed strong , enduring through marriages , divorces , new romances , heartbreaks , victories , and losses . You have never faltered .
Thank you for being all you are to me .
