An Open Letter to Friends: Thank You

Dear friends,

It seems like a lifetime ago since I posted to my personal blog. Reading through some of my old posts serves to remind me that the only constant in this world is change itself. I feel like so much has changed in the last 26 months. Sometimes I feel guilty that I didn’t chronicle more of that journey here. Last time I wrote I was just beginning my journey into Montevallo’s MBA program. Tomorrow night I will officially end it by walking at the 2016 Fall commencement ceremony.
I’ve struggled the last several days about how to even try and cram the last 26 months into a single post. What I figured out is that I couldn’t. I’ve experienced many wonderful things and met many great people. It has been one amazing trip and sometimes along the way I failed to stop and enjoy it. Like most people, I continue to struggle, grow, and reach achievements in this thing called life… and it is a beautiful thing.

But the real reason I wrote this posts is to thank the people who have been a part of the journey the last two plus year. It hasn’t been easy at times and I definitely was challenged. You have seen me grown and mature. You helped and supported me along the way. You know who you are… I truly could not have done it without you… and for that I am truly thankful.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Purvis
