An open letter to those who mean so much to me....

 

So, I was sitting in my hotel in Nashville, thinking about all the things that I’ve accomplished and all the blessings that I’ve had in my life. And sitting there I was again reminded that I have so much to be thankful for. There have been so many people in my life that I could never do this without. I just want to take some time to say thank you to those people because you mean everything to me.

MY FANS AND FAN CLUB- You guys are by far the most amazing people I think I know. I just want to let you all know how much I truly, truly appreciate you. My fan support means so much to and I thank you for all your love and support. I would be no one with out you. I hope you know I am reminded everyday how much you all have brought to my life and just know you will never been taken for granted. God has blessed me with such an amazing system of support and I thank you. Thank you for all the time you’ve put into supporting my dream. I will never forget all you’ve done for me. Thank you again… I LOVE YOU.  

AUBREY AND BRITTANY- Wow what would I do without you two. You crazies have been with me through so many of my hard times just to talk and to listen and I thank you for that. You are the embodiment of love and I can’t thank you enough for letting me be your friend. God sent me two angels in you two ladies and I love you both. I couldn’t keep reaching for this dream without your support boosting me to the top. I LOVE YOU.    (I’ve learned to speak Bee!!!)

MARDI RAY- Oh my goodness where to begin? How about age 12 when I had my first voice lesson with you. God created some kind of chemical reaction of awesomeness when he put us together (!) ah Mardi I LOVE YOU!! I definitely would have NEVER gotten anywhere in my carrier if not for you. You educated me in molding my talent into what it is today. And you’ve been my best friend through it all. You’ve seen my ups and downs. My struggles and frustrations. You’ve shared tears and bursts of laughter. You made sure to remind me all these years when I had forgotten that God has a plan for my life and he’s not going to let me down. Even when I may be down. We’ve rejoiced in successes and worked on mistakes. You have helped me become the woman I am. And I thank you for that. Thank you for everything. You have been such an important person in my life. You don’t know how much you have meant to my life. Every single one of our little “blah, blah, blah’s ” has made my life that much better. You light up my day and warm my heart. I would have never gotten anywhere life without you. I’m so blessed that God put you in my life. I LOVE YOU. 

FRANK AND SUSAN- Well let’s just start out by saying Nashville wouldn’t be Nashville without Frankie. And Frankie wouldn’t be Frankie without Susan. What an amazing team you two make. You inspire me. J THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. See that did nothing to show how much I appreciate you. Because I really don’t think words can express what I feel for you. All of the countless hours of random little things that you all do to keep the “Maci Show” on the road (haha) will never go unnoticed and will never be forgotten. Also, being there for me when I’m overwhelmed or disappointed. Or, being there when I’m so happy I can’t stand it. Those things will never be forgotten either. We’ve shared so many precious memories together. I love you guys so much. There are times and people in your life that couldn’t forget even if you tried. You are those people. Your love and support has been the guiding light for me and I appreciate it so much.

WILL RAMBEAUX- You know, I’m seriously considering sticking that hot French fry in your eye. (Just kidding) Will, your amazing. When God made you, he said “huh why didn’t I think of that before?” haha  Thank you for seeing whatever you did in my eyes that day on my CD cover. Thanks for taking time to listen to it. In the work we’ve done together you’ve shown me that I can out reach anything I thought I could do. I’ve grown so much in the time knowing you and you’ve taught me so much. I must say I’m proud to be working with you. You’ve me how to be a better version of myself and I thank you for that. Thanks for making me rock (!) God has blessed me so much by leading me to you. Thank you for all your hard work. I LOVE YOU!!!!

HAL OVEN- Hal wow I don’t know how to say this… THANK YOU. Thanks for giving me minuet of your time. You know God really blessed me when he put you and Mardi at the same table that night. How amazing. I am so blessed to be working for you. Your support and belief in me is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

STEVEN BLISS- So this could take all night. Ok I’ll keep it short and sweet. I wouldn’t be the same person today if it wasn’t for you. You are by far one of the most amazing people I know. Because of people like you I can say GOD IS GOOD. What would I do without you? Have you ever thought about that? I don’t want to think about it. You are my confidant. God blessed me so much when he put you in my life. And for that I am eternally grateful. You are such an amazing talent and person. I wouldn’t be the person or artist I am today if not for you. Thank you for loving me for me. You taught me that I can be myself no matter what anyone says or thinks for that matter. Thank you for that. Thank you for listing to my soul and understanding my heart. I am SO BLESSED and THANKFUL to be working with you. I LOVE YOU!!!!

I am so grateful for your support. You are so awesome and you are so appreciated. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! I LOVE YOU!!!

GRANT LEFTWICH- Grant, thank you so much for your support. I’m so blessed just thinking about the day I auditioned at the Opry and you said yes. The day that started my career. Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for say “Maci Wainwright” when someone called you and said “I need someone” you could have chose ANY ONE of your many performers and every time you gave them my name and number. Thank you so much for that. Thank you for your continuing support. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

BRANDON AND DONNA- God is so cool! I mean, you are my family!!  Between Arbonne and Channel 9 I don’t know what more I could have asked for! Wow, You guys are amazing and I thank you so much for everything you do for me. The love you have shown me is so amazing and I thank you so much for that. I hope you know that not a day goes by that I don’t realized how blessed I am to have you in my life. Thank you for everything. I LOVE YOU!!

MY FAMILY-  I love you more than life itself. From the moment I was born I was blessed. God picked such amazing people to be my family. I love you all so much. You’ve always been there for me and I love that. Thank you for that. Little moments that no one will ever be a part of, you are. Those chocolate milk and sippy cup moments where all I want is to snuggle with Pooh and be mace. Thank you for letting me do that.

Granny you are my best friend. You always have been and always will be. Thank you for understanding me in a way that no one else on this earth ever will. Thank you for loving me like no one else ever will. All of our late night talks and sleeping in’s. They all mean so much to me. Thank you for being my biggest fan. You and Poppy mean everything to me and I love you so much. Thank you for teaching me about God and answering all my little life questions. You know I love you more than anyone could ever love another person. I love you I love you I love you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for supporting and loving me always.

Granny and Poppy Wainwright Thank you for supporting me and loving me. Thank you for being proud of everything I do. I love you so much and your love and support can never be replaced. Auntie Toy and Uncle Steve you guys are the best. You’ve gotten me through so many of my hard times. Even when it was as little as “ dad wont let us get a trampoline” haha. Thank you for letting me “vent” to you. Thank you for teaching me how to shop. Thank you for making me laugh so hard I cry. Thank you for loving me for me. Thank you for your support. I love you so much.

The Arnolds, my extended family, God blessed me like never before when he let our paths cross. It amazes me more and more everyday how beautifully he placed you in my life. Your support and love means the world to me. I have found a rock in you and I am so thankful that I have you in my life. I may never be able to express the true love that I have for you all. My life was changed forever when you became a part of it. I will never forget how much you mean to me and how much more awesome you have made my life. I never dreamed I would find a love like yours. I’m so glad that God blessed me with that love. (The love that lets me be “macinator” and not “Maci Wainwright” haha) You mean the world to me please don’t ever forget that. Thank you for all your love and support. I LOVE YOU.

And last but not least Mommie and Dad. I could do none of this with out you. Your support over the years has shaped me into the person I am today and I’m so thankful for you. I can’t even put into words how truly blessed I am to have parents like you. You are amazing and I thank you for all the wonderful things you do. I LOVE YOU.
