Deck of me Week 15: Parents


Week 15 of my deck of me cards is Parents. This card was really easy for me. The hardest part was narrowing down all the many things about them that I love onto a small card. If you could meet my parents you would know what I was talking about. They are service oriented, they are funny, they are kind, they are adventurous (we went on sooo many fun family trips growing up), they were always there for me(never missed a swim meet, band concert, waterpolo game), they are just all in all the best! I know you guys think that your parents are the best...but sorry, mine are the best ever! :) If you cant read the card it says(you can click on it to get a bigger image):
How do I love thee, let me count the ways:
1. You taught me how to love
2. You made me who I am today
3. You are always there for me
4. We can laugh or cry together
5. You gave me life!
mom and dad, for these reasons and so many more, I love you!

This is a very lovely tribute to your parents. They should be very proud of you. And yet at the same time... you instilled all those things back in them. What a fortuitous family you have, and how lucky am I to be a part of it.

Darn, for some reason it wont let me see your card (a problem with my computer I'm sure). Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that your journaling really touched me. I'm so happy you had such cool parents. I knew there was a reason you were so cool too. :)
