a special thank you


To the 2010/2011 Chicago Bulls...

Thank you.

I can not tell you how much you have meant to me. It has been a year of ups and downs in my personal life, but since October the most consistent and wonderful thing in my world has been you.

You have given me new friends, strengthened my relationship with my father, and made me believe in the beauty of Chicago again. During my sophomore year of life, a time when I could easily have given in to loneliness or frustration, you gave me hope. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's true. You are the men in my life and I have a great respect for you and what you do.

In my heart you were already winners, despite the MVP and Coach of the Year and Best Record titles. You are incredible. The heart and soul each one of you brings to the game blows me away and inspires me to take on my life with such courage and passion. Who knew we would make it this far?

You are amazing, and I cannot wait to see what we can achieve next year.

Love and devotion,

Maggie Stamell

(P.S. Luol Deng: You are still my boyfriend. DEAL W/ IT!)
