I know it's easy to get caught up with the day to day....
But the relationship that I share with my parents....
Is a blessing and a rarity in this day and age.
Growing up, my parents affirmed their role in my life. I heard the phrase "I'm your Mother, not your friend" more often than I'd like to admit. I now realize, my Mom wasn't pushing me away, she was just trying to teach me about respect.
Well Mom and Dad, it seems somewhere along we became friends too.
To the people that taught me:
Money will never buy you happiness
Treat everyone with respect
Work hard because nothing is owed to you
Self pity only drains your energy
Life isn't about "things" but rather moments
Be grateful for everything
I thank you.
Even though you have given me everything I could ever ask for and more. You have also given me the determination, love, and motivation to never give up and never feel hopeless. You have taught me the morals and values that lead to a life of happiness regardless of what I have.
And for that I thank you Mom and Dad, because those gifts can't ever be bought in a store.
