My F*R*I*E*N*D*S, My F*A*M*I*L*Y
When I was 5, I remember seeing these people sitting in this one cafe. And all of a sudden, this women in a white wedding dress runs through the door labeled "Central Perk." For 10 years, I've been watching the show every week. For 2 thirds of my life, I was raised by these six incredible people. Everything I've learned, I've learned from them. A lot of stuff has happened through my life and Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and Ross have always been there for me. I had no idea it was going to be this hard. Last night, I cried more than I've ever cried in my entire life. I had no idea it was going to be so hard to say... I can't say it. I don't think I will ever be able to say it. This show, this story has been a very large, positive part of my life. I'm not ready for this. I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready for this. They were always there for me when they said they would be. So to Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross: Thank you for always, always being there for me. Thank you for 10 amazing years of my life. I would also like to take this time and thank the three people that made this all possible for me: Kevin S. Bright, Marta Kauffman, and David Crane. Thank you all so much raising me. Thank you for comforting me. Thank you, for being there for me. I will NEVER, EVER forget any of you. I love you all so much. "I'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour, I'll be there for you like I've been there before, I'll be there for you, because you're there for me too."
