because they put a roof over
my head, and they also raise
me to be a good kid. They also
have been good to me because
they buy me stuff, they take
me hunting and they do a lot
of stuff for me and my brother.
And what I mean by that is they
take good care of us and buy
me stuff. They take good care
of us because when we are sick
they give us medicine to get us
better. And by buying stuff we
want and I mean by getting a
dog and a bunch of cats. Thank
you family for being the best
family in the world.
