The month of being Thankful. I honestly try to be thankful each and every day. My life has been filled with so many wonderful moments. Those moments and the memories, far outweigh the bad.
But I'll start today, by being thankful for my parents. How blessed am I, to still have them both, here on this earth with me? I have many friends, who have had to said goodbye too soon. Yes, they both may drive me to the brink of insanity at times, but they are my friends, my cheerleaders, my gut checks. They are a part of me, and I, a part of them.
I'll start with the momma, so she doesn't get jealous. She is CRAZY, certifiably nuts. She will guilt you to no end. She will call me, if she thinks something is wrong, and if I don't answer, she will then call every .2 seconds, until I answer the phone, screaming "WHAT". But, she loves me and I know that. She will kick someone's ass for hurting me. She will stand up for me against anyone who dares go against me, as long as I'm not in the wrong. She has no problem speaking her mind and standing behind her convictions.
My father, the daddio. He is CRAZY, certifiably insane. He and I can fight, I mean knock down drag out verbal wars. He has a sharp tongue backed by a sharper wit, deadly combination. He also, will kick someone's ass for hurting me. He has supported me, when most of those times, I was definitely in the wrong and was headed the wrong direction. He is a man of his word and full of integrity, even when the world around him falls apart, and tries to beat him down. He has given me the tough love at just the right times. He loves me and I know.
They are both crazy, insane, nuts, loud, outspoken and often times misunderstood. They will forever and always be mine, and for that I'M THANKFUL.
Your mother is not crazy. I know her well. She is a mother. She is very concerned about her children and how they are doing. She is here with me every single day, like my mother was with me. She is as mean as necessary and as soft as a floating feather. She can and will kick some butt but only if God allows and he put somewhat of a damper on it when he allowed her to have an aortic aneurysm. I believe in your mother and know she is someone who lives in a world of her own, much like you. She loves your dog also. She dog sits for you whenever you want. I believe you promised her a trip to England. She talks about it all of the time. She says, "Don't let time run out." Love you and love everything you said. She is wonderful and loves you to the end of time.
