A letter to your parents
I am SO grateful that you chose me to be apart of your lives. I know that my place on earth was here with you. I could not have been sent to a better home. Not once do I ever remember feeling adopted (although I asked you to tell me about my "dopted" story when I was just little) You loved me more than any little girl could be loved. I had such an amazing childhood because of you. I remember all the vacations we went on and the places we visited, all the hard times when kids were mean to me and you helped me through it and made me feel better about myself. All the homework, and science projects you helped me with. I am thankful that I was taught how to work hard. You taught me at an early how to earn, save and manage money. You taught me right from wrong and took me to church to learn values. You taught me to be kind and generous. I thought those were qualities most people had and most parents taught their children, but as I have grown I learned that that is not true.
Dad I am grateful for how you supported our family. Working several different jobs so that we could have the things in life we did. I remember being a daddy's girl and always wanting to tag along when I was younger. Wanting to help you in the garage, help you paint, and go on motorcycle rides.
Mom as I grew older, I wanted to become even closer to you and learn all your amazing talents you had,
but you were taken from me way too soon. It wasn't fair. Why do I have to have this struggle and trail?
IT'S NOT FAIR that you did not get to be a grandmother to my children here on earth. They really needed a grandma like you. One that would have them over for sleepovers, be there for EVERY game, graduation, birthday party. Taking them off my hands for the night when I needed a rest. Spoiling them rotten and endless hugs and kisses.... but I know they were with you before they came to this earth and I know you told them to be good for me because I sure do have good children. I tell them about you all the time and make sure they know how wonderful you are.
Dad, I probably don't tell you enough that I love you, but I hope you know that will all my heart I do. I have been worried sick about your health, and I am so happy and proud of you that you have pulled through. You have been through more trials than any one man deserves, and you are still a positive and happy person. I loved when you and I went on a motorcycle ride together last year and I hope we can do it again soon.
Loyette, I could not leave you out. You have been an angel sent to our home. You have such a sweet and giving spirit and I am so thankful and appreciative to you. I don't think my dad could have found anyone kinder to be with and to help take care of our family!
