Yesterday was my Father's birthday and of course Sunday is Father's Day. My parents are getting older and It got me thinking how much I care about them. I didn't realize how truly wonderful my parents are until I was in my 30's and it becomes more evident to me everyday.
I wish I had realized this when I was a kid. I think things growing up would have been a lot different. I wasn't the easiest child and down-right difficult and ungrateful at times, but no matter what, my parents where always there for me and still are. If I had treated anyone else as bad as I have treated my parents in the past, that friend would not have stuck around. It's a true testament to the love between a parent and a child.
What really sucks is that the only thing I can say is "Thank You". Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for not killing me (I'm sure it crossed their mind at least once.) How do these two little words make up for all the things that have happened in the past. Where in these two little words does it explain just how grateful I am that God blessed with me with these two amazing people?
