New 30 Day Meme - Day 24- A letter to your parents
Day 24- A letter to your parents
This post could be about all kinds of things, but I choose to look at the positive (though I'm gonna' try to keep 'em short)! So, here goes...
To Mom: (Loretta-Mom)
Dear Mom,
Thank you so much for all the love you poured into your kids. With you for a mom, I have always felt cherished. You've happily shared hugs and kisses and laughter my whole life, and I am so grateful for that. The very cool things you have passed down to me include, but are not limited to:
- Listen to happy dance music while doing chores
- Happy tears are okay
- Don't give up
- You're a survivor
- You're smart
- You can do anything you set your mind to
- Read! Read! Read!
- Welcome everybody into your home with open arms
- A "home" doesn't have to be spotless to be warm and inviting
- If the conventional method isn't possible, find a new way! (dishes in the tub :) )
- Talking to God can help you through rough times
- Talking to family can help you through rough times
- Be there when people need you
- Share love.
Thank you, Mom! I love you bunches & bunches!! :)
To Dad:
Dear Dad,
Thank you for teaching me manners and values as a kid, and thank you for making religion a fun part of our lives. I will never forget riding the Joy Bus and singing songs on the way to church. Thank you for sharing your love of God with me at such a young age. Thank you for being involved with the church and helping me witness that. Thank you for adding to the development of a love of reading. Thank you for making sure I knew I was valuable to you. Thank you for talking about the tough subjects with me. Thank you for caring what I thought and how I felt. Thank you for valuing me now and making sure that I know that you do.
I love you very much, Dad!
To Mom: (Debra-Mom)
Dear Mom,
Thank you for welcoming all of us kids into your home and your life when you married Dad. Thank you for never letting us see how hard that was or what a pain we were. :) Thank you for teaching me all about being pretty (fixing hair - so fun) and being cool (wearing sunglasses and listening to Wham!). Thank you for all the birthday and holiday cards over the years and for always making room in your budget to give us something, even when you guys were struggling. Thank you for being there when I was in pain and sick every month and helping me find something to lessen it. Thank you for all the fun beach trips and the more recent relaxing Christmas visits. Thank you for loving me as a daughter.
I love you so much and appreciate what you do, Mom!
To Ed: (Loretta-Mom's new husband)
Dear Ed,
Thank you for loving my mom and for making her happy. Thank you for respecting her and valuing the same things she values. Thank you for making her an honest woman (hee hee!) and gettin' hitched. :) Thank you for welcoming all of us into your life and taking care of all the things you do as a new part of our family. Thank you.
We are so happy to have you in our family, Ed!
