HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!
Happy Father's Day Dad!
For anyone else reading this, my parents are quite possibly the most amazing parents anyone could ever want. They have made it possible for me to be up here, getting this amazing opportunity. They have made sure that I was able to do anything I ever wanted on the way, and for that I am so grateful. There is no way to say how much I love my parents and how much I miss my family right now. We are so closely knit and have such an amazing dynamic between us all, and that is entirely thanks to my parents.
I know that this is Father's Day and that I should just be focusing on my dad, but I think he'd want me to post about both him and Mom here -- afterall, he always tells me that the one thing I need to do to make him happy is to make Mom happy. That and to do dishes. I like to think I do one of those well... They are a team, they work together in a way that has made my life, and I like to think that of my brothers' as well, as close to perfect as possible. I honestly cannot think of one thing that I would want to change about my life, except that right now I wish I could be at home writing this instead of 835 miles away.
I think that next time I randomly have lunch with a Congressman, I will propose that instead of having Mother's Day and Father's Day, we should have Parent's/Parents' Day.*
Mom and Dad, thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I am so excited that you are coming out to see me this week. How amazing is that? I really do have the best parents in the world.
Love,
Abby
