Am I There, Yet?

Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad!  Happy Birthday, Dad!  (Only you and I know this is a day late…we won’t tell anybody else.) 

Thanks for being awesome role models.  I am so fortunate to have parents who are still married.  I didn’t fully appreciate this until I became an adult.  This is rare and I fully appreciate it.  Thank you!

Dad, I’m so proud of you.  Thanks for being so strong, especially this past year with all of the unimaginable cancer news.  You’ve done an awesome job with staying healthy and strong.  I appreciate your discipline and am praying for you daily.  I love you.

Mom, you’ve exhibited the “through sickness and health” vows with excellence and grace.  Thanks for being a fabulous mom.  I know many girls and women throughout my life who wish they could claim you as their mom.  I guess I got lucky!  I love you.
