My right hand that loves to explode. I don't know where I'd be without you and your bullheaded demolitionist expertise, Jest. You might wanna look into contacts, though, grandma.
Yeehaw! I blow up whatever ya need blowin' up, Dragon -- but I'm always gonna be older than you, hun, hahaha!
Erika, you never fear to speak your mind, where others never have the courage. God knows who I'd be if I hadn't met you when and where I did. I know you already know, because I repeat it like a parrot, but I'm always here if you need me.
You've become a second dad to me, Aear. I needed that. I appreciate you being an honest friend to me when I needed it the most and looking out in my best interest. But I am a big girl, now. You've got to look out for you, too. Got that?
It's nice to have my sister back. Stay out of trouble, would ya?
Oooo, it's good to be back. I /am/ the trouble, Sis!
My dad... taught me everything. Everything I would ever need. But he died long before the accident. The doctor taught me... everything else.
"Priceless. She is priceless. I want her to say that a thousand times. A thousand times so she never forgets. Si no lo haces, lo haré. I can't — I won't let you think how I do. You're young. You can still make good. Eres mi mundo, niña, y estaría oscuro sin ti."
Okay. You're right, Mom. You make you. And in my opinion? Your you is pretty good. Thanks, for... helping me out.
Never met a bitch who could panic bench press me to a wall. Props. And yeah, you're a good mom, too.
While I'll never get that kidney back, you were a hard worker. I've always found you to be a good kid, and I'm proud of your accomplishments.
You're the M-M-Mad Marshall to So-Cool-Soku! Truth be told, I never anticipated you becoming my Marshmallow, too. I really cherish my time with you — I always have. I mean it. You, Ryan, and Dawn are awesome, Marsh. I love you guys. I won't letcha forget that.
Never thought I'd have another sibling, but.... You're all-right, Marsh. Thanks for not being a jerk; though, you are pretty loud. Sorry I can be... how I am... sometimes. If you ever want McDonald's ice cream again, let me know. I'll buy.
Marshall, you are so deeply loved. I don't know if you realize just how much. Thank you, for sharing lunches with me. Hiking together.
Painting together. Midnight hot chocolates. Just... for reaching out when you did. I wasn't able to. Now, I wouldn't trade where I am for anything. I know, sometimes, I'm difficult. But I appreciate your patience. You're a wonderful son, and I love you and your siblings dearly.
I can't imagine my life without Marshall. I just can't, not even a little bit. He's been my constant source of inspiration from day one. I love him, so, so very dearly. Papa is inexplicably proud of the man he has grown to be.
A strong-willed, heartfelt woman with as much kindness as intelligence. Voice of reason to some, patient listener to many — myself included, from our shared childhood to present. You're a wonderful person and I don't believe that's said enough. Thank you for all you do.
Patient. Very patient. /Unbelievably/ patient. I don't know how he does it, but he does it amazingly well. Greg is... the closest thing to home I've ever felt.
Personal road-bumps aside, you won't find anyone nearly as kind who really means it. A bit eccentric at times, but so am I. It's fun company.
You looked crazy and I knew you had a big dick. Didn't think pursuing that would result in a married with children label, but here we are, I guess. Astonishingly, no regrets.
