My father and mother are the most amazing parents that one could ever ask for! Both my mother and father held me when I cried, taught me, fought for me, protected me, nurtured me, kissed me and instilled core values and provided me direction when I was wrong. They lead by example through their words and actions on how productive citizens should be. Both mom and dad instilled the importance of education. I know they both will be extremely proud once I complete my master’s degree. Most important they taught me the value of faith and religion. They have shown me how to love and be the best mother that I can be! I am loved me unconditionally and as grandparents they loved my daughter Cailin even more! My father and mother are the most important people in my life. Even today at 41 they both still provide for me each and every day! I can never thank them enough. They are both the constant rock and love that I have in my life. I love you dad and mom.

My mother, Amelia Thomas, was a stay-at-home mom. Being a stay-at-home mom ensured that I was always taken care of. I was provided with much love and attention. My mom is kind, considerate and the most giving woman that I know. When her friends or anyone is in need she is always there to help them. My friends believe my mom has a special connection to God. When they have an issue they ask me to ask my mother to pray for them. Seeing my mother give her all others inspired me to want to dedicate my life career in helping others. Even today if she sees something that I need she doesn’t hesitate to purchase it for me. My mom does not fear hard work. If she doesn’t know how to do something around the house she will figure it out. Many days I may come home and she may have stopped by my house and done the laundry. She provided me with the knowledge I needed to be strong and independent woman. A special memory I have is that every first day of school my mom would bake me a very large cookie. She now celebrates this tradition with my daughter.
My father, Edward Thomas, is the hardest working man I know. He is caring, loving, practical and protective. My father has ALWAYS looked after me, went to work despite how he felt to ensure his family was taken care of. He never feared hard work and responsibility. Today he at 73 and continues to work on my house everyday versus just sitting down! My dad can fix just about anything. I am very grateful as I don’t know what I would do without him. My dad as well as my mother provided me with much love and attention. He is a very intelligent man and before google there was my dad! He is very giving as well and helps others in need. A special memory I have is that my father despite working full-time never missed not one of my track meets in high school.

Beautiful parents, are you an only child? I come from a big family, we were 8 children, there were plenty of times I wish I was an only child.
ReplyDeleteI love that your parents are still together, no one stays together anymore. My parents were married 59 yrs. until death did them apart.
Beautiful post, thanks for sharing
Thank you for reading my blog... No I am not the only child. I have an older sister that is special needs that is 11 years older than me. I moved from Seattle almost 2 years ago so now my parents take my daughter to school and pick her up! Marriages don't seem to last anymore. They have been together since they were 15 and married at 19. They turn 74 this year.
DeleteI enjoyed reading your post. I love how you included special memories. I would like to start more traditions in my own family and love the idea of baking a very large cookie! You are lucky to still have such a close relationship with your parents.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Another tradition I like to do with my daughter is in the month of November write w a sharpie on a placemat what we are thankful for each day!
ReplyDeleteNikki,
ReplyDeleteYour family history is awesome! I have met many people that do not have the enjoyment of being raised with their mother and father in the home and when I get to describing my experience of having that opportunity they explain what they feel would have been different if they had the same opportunity. Your mom and dad installed their legacy in you so that you can be as successful as they are. Good job and good luck on your future challenges.
