Thankful for my Mom and Dad

Today I decided ot make some notes about why I'm thankful for my Mom and Dad.

Mom for -

Her humor

Her love

Sharing her love of music

The time which totals into years of her life, that she devoted to raising me and caring for me and worrying about me and being there for me.

Sharing with me her love of art and painting.

All the wonderful meals - she is a fabulous cook.

For teaching me how to iron and keep a clean house - yes, I know how, just don't always do it!

Sacrificing so much for me.

Dad for -

His smile

His love

Teaching me to play a pretty good game of ping pong.

All the times he rescued me - as a little kid, a teen, and when I was a 20 something, a 30 something, a 40 something.

Patiently helping me with my multiplication tables. Yech.

Working for many years of his life in a job he did not like just so he could provide for us.

Making waffles for us on Sunday nights.

Taking me on vacations every summer.

Accepting and loving me even when I disappointed him.
