First of all, Dad, thank you sooooo much for always being there for me! I know I wasn't always your favorite and I definitely wasn't your easiest child! In fact I was probably your hardest. But the fact that you always loved me, no matter the disappointment that I saw in your eyes, is the most comforting thing in the world! Because of you I knew the exact man that I wanted to marry. You are such a hard worker and did everything possible to support and provide for your family. I knew by the look in your eyes how much you loved mom... And it killed me to be the one that had to tell you you had lost your sweet Wife. Now as I watch you with Susan I know that you are well taken care of. I definitely had a hard time with you 2 getting married, but I don't think I would have gotten married if you didn't. And now I see how happy you two are together and it makes me happy! I think at one time or another you have wanted to strangle each of your 7 children, and that none of us always treated you the way you should be treated, but I hope you know how much we all really do love you!
Now Mom, you're the most amazing women that I ever met. You always brightened up a room! Your laugh, your smile, your personality, and most of all your spunk! There was NEVER a dull moment with you around! I'll never forget those trips to Utah. I loved that I got you to myself for that 4 hour drive. I could always talk to you about everything. I loved to hear you "gossip" it always made my day! I knew that if something was going on, you'd know! =] Wow, I miss you. I think about you everyday! And Mom, I'll be honest. I try really hard not to talk about you. It's so hard. Especially when people ask me questions that I don't know. I wish I could ask you. I wish you were here to see your grandson. He's quite the entertainer. A lot like you! Thank you for showing me what a marriage was all about. I think I only saw you and dad argue once. (You had no idea I was there.) I then saw you lean over and kiss him and then you both apologized. I think I was maybe 7? I miss going to night classes with you... It was when I could tell you about all my crazy roommates! I miss your advice. You always knew the right thing to say to me. Mom, it's hard for me to see girls with there moms. It hurts. I hate knowing that I don't ever get to have that with you again. It makes you sad to see that most of my good memories of you are fading, while March 4, 2008 is still as vivid as if it were yesterday. Actually, I could barely see until the next day when I took my contacts out. They had gotten all fogged up from me crying! (I thought you'd enjoy that!) Mom, I love you! And I hope your doing good! Don't forget to watch over your grandson! He plays with one of your pictures everyday! He will always know who is grandma is!
So Mom and Dad, I love you both very much!
p.s. Mom, I think that pretty much everyone thinks that all you talked about was Sex and Poop. Just so you know! =] I'll make sure to tell everyone that that was one 90% of the time! ;)
