Day 3: Letter to my Parents

Momma & Daddy,

I am grateful that God placed me with you. Most people like to say they got lucky with their children but, I believe I got lucky with my parents. I love you guys so much, more then words, a blog, or any action can explain. My life & anything I possess is all because of you two.

I appreciate everything I've ever been taught. When I was younger, I use to get mad sometimes because I knew things that other kids my age parents didn't let them in on. Rather it was we were going through a tough time or we were on top of the world we always knew what was happening with bills, family issues, etc. You taught me that we were not individual people but, one group of people making it in the world for eachother, together. You taught me that no one is more important then my family because when things go wrong, they will be the only ones still there after the dust settles. It's us against them & we will win.

One day if I ever have kids, I hope to raise them just like you raised me. You made it look so easy but, I know it isn't. You have 3 girls with 3 different personalities but, we all know what we need to do to survive. We may have learned it in different paths but, no matter the path, you guys have stood by our side. When we do wrong, you guys mold us for what we need to do & you act as if you've been in that same situation before but, maybe you have not. You are the perfect parents, you are my rock.

I may never know if you feel as appreciated as you are. I tell you a million times over. Tracy, Jessica, & I have never been disappointed by you. You pick us up when we are down, you dust us off, & you make us try again. Boy, we sure are the luckiest women on this earth!!!!!!

I love you Momma & Daddy and no matter how old I get, I will always be a proud Daddy's little girl.

With Love,
Gerri
