I’m so very grateful for my parents.
Being a parent is the toughest job on the planet, and comes with a wide range of emotions. Parents feel their children’s joys and pains. They protect, support, and encourage us through life and help shape the people we become. They teach us to fly, and then help us soar through life; proudly watching from the sidelines. They soak up our laughter, and dry our tears. They worry constantly about their children from the time they are born, until the day their own heart stops beating. I’m sure if they had a dime for every sleepless night, retirement would come early. Parenting never ends, and their love, support, and guidance is limitless. I’m lucky to have two amazingly supportive parents who have really been there in the extremely difficult moments, which has really helped in the last few weeks. Support can be difficult to provide when you don’t understand what the person is going through, but parents push through anyway. That’s the power of their love.
Reflect on that love today, and all that you’ve accomplished in your life from their example.
What are you grateful for today?
