There is no question that I have the greatest parents on the planet. Being away at college seriously makes me realize how much I forget to thank my parents. They do so much for me and ask for very little in return. I wouldn't who I was today without those two crazies.
I need to thank them for....
1. All the times they had to double as best friend/counselor/therapist/costume designer/hair stylist/coach/all-around-solver-of-every-problem-ever/math tutor/911 hot line/homecoming date/missionary/financial advisor/technician. I remain unconvinced that they aren’t actually superheroes in disguise.
2. Forgiving me when I forget to call or check in. (or fall asleep at a friends house)
3. Listening to so much rambling when I do remember to call.
4. Showing me how to be the person that I one day hope to be.
5. Giving me something to smile about always, especially when I really don't want to.
6. All the one on one time they set apart for me. I think my favorite memories are going to dinner with my dad or shopping with my mom.
7. For all the home cooked meals or pizzas we didn’t have to pay for ourselves. Equally phenomenal. Equally missed.
.
8. Putting up with that awful middle school phase.
9. For giving me my siblings, whom I simultaneously once wished to sell and now am best friends with.
10. And oh yeah, for that whole “giving birth to us” thing.
11. For being my first, and at some points, only cheerleaders, who were and are proud of even my smallest accomplishments.
12. All the time spent bending over backwards to make sure I went to school happy, fed, and feeling as confident as possible.
13. Doing their very best, even when things were most difficult in the family.
14. Treating each other so kindly. I think their examples have really set the standard ridiculously high for me and my future companion.
15. And for being living proof that there are people out there who can honestly just do it all.
Nobody will ever compare to my parents. They are some the best of the best. I am grateful to have parents that I can literally tell anything to. It is because of them that I have decided to serve a mission. I love them more than words will ever express. Thank you parentals. For just being so darn great. You mean everything to me. I might be a big college kid now but there is no way I would survive without you.
