Thankful for MOM & DAD...

God put me into the hands of my parents about 35ish years ago.  Each day I can look back and find another reason to be thankful for my MOM & DAD.  Words from each of my parents creep into my mind on occasion and it floors me when I actually hear them come out of my mouth.  

I still feel like God took my Dad to heaven way too early.  I know He has a plan and He knows what He's doing, but my itsy-bitsy mind is certain I had more to learn from my Dad.  And I've watched my Mom walk each day of this journey since Dad went on to heaven.  She has carried herself with grace, she has been brave and she has been strong.  I know these days have been harder than she could've ever imagined but she has clung to her faith.  Dad would be so proud of her.

I'm headed west today, ready to love on and be loved by my Mom.  I love that as I grew older, we became friends.  I love that I still learn from her.  I love that I still learn from my Dad.  I love that one day we will be free from the pain of loss because they taught me about my Savior.  I love that their priorities were always love God, and love your neighbor.  Oh I'm so thankful for MOM & DAD!
