November.1

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.
