I feel as though I've proved myself these last five years that I can be one of the top players in the league.

You sacrificed for us - you're the real MVP.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

The heavenly Father foreknew the future.

Love as a flower loves the morning sun.Love with kindness, expect no return.
