My Two Favorite People

This might be sort of a different type of blog post and it is definitely a longer one than I usually do, but it is something that I felt like I wanted to do.
I wanted to do a tribute to my two favorite people in the world. Once you see the picture below, you'll know who I'm talking about.
Recently, I have been forced to ask myself the question, “Do I realize how good I have it when it comes to my parents?”
When I hear people talking about being glad when their husband / wife is gone, I see how fortunate I am to have two parents who truly love each other.
When I think of the help that my parents have been when I have been going through a battle – things might be rough during the day, but I can stop and think of how things are going to be better after I get home. I don’t even have to say anything to them about what I was going through – just being there with them has been and is a tremendous encouragement to me.
There have been times when they have gotten pretty straight with me when they were talking to me about something that I was going through. The way I look at this is, “They love me enough to talk to me that way.” Those times have helped me.
They’ll probably never know how much it has meant to me when they have expressed confidence in me. This usually comes at a time when I didn’t have a whole lot of confidence in myself. There have been times when the memory of something that they have said to me is what kept me going.
Spiritually, I have confidence in a lot of people, but Mom and Dad are at the top of that list.
My parents are, among many things – my cook, my taxi driver, my seamstress, my Pastor, my laundress, my counselors, my nurse
– but most important, they are my Mom & Dad!
Thanks For Everything Mom & Dad!
