I remember getting spanked quite often as a child. I was really a disobedient child, although you would never know it now, (LOL!) My parent's patience and wisdom during this time, amazes me. They never disciplined me for childish foolishness, only when they knew I was deliberately disobeying. I owe all that I know to my parents. If they were not there for me, I would not be the person I am today. As i've gotten older i've understood how much my parents' love means to me. Their wisdom, love, and support guided me through every decision, and gave me the peace and confidence I needed. I don't know what I would have done without my parents.
You both have been an outstanding inspiration to me. Getting to this stage in my life has taken a lot of time and work, but it is nothing compared to how you worked and sacrificed for me. You are the number one reason I am where I am today. Without your continued support I could never have accomplished so much.
Thank you for everything over the past 35 years. I could not have asked for more supportive parents! Thank you for always being just a phone call away and i'm looking forward to all of the adventures still to come!
"Children obey your parents, for this is well pleasing to the Lord." ~ Colossians 3:20
