My people: parents

My first introduction post was rather quick, so my next few posts will provide more detail that pertains to my subject. The people and animals in my life are my passion, so I’ll give you an overview of who those are. Today is my parents.

Jeff- This is my daddy and my absolute favorite person in the world. I have always been a daddy’s girl and although I do have him somewhat wrapped around my finger, I try not to take advantage of it. This man is completely selfless. He would give anything and everything for the people he loves. He has worked very hard my whole life to be sure that me and my sisters would have the best chance at a great education and success. I cannot recall a single time that I have ever heard him say a bad thing about another person. He is noble, generous, loving, and strong. If I am half the person he turned out to be, I will consider my life successful.

Betsy- This is my mommy. She is an incredible mother, teacher, and overall person. She has more love in her heart than I ever thought possible of one person. There is nothing I could ever do that would change the love she has for me. She has always supported me in everything that I have done, even if she doesn’t necessarily agree with it. When something bad comes out of my decisions she is there with sympathy and love, rather than an “I told you so.” I have been told that my mother and I are so much alike in more ways than I know, and I cannot think of a greater compliment anyone could give me.

I find myself extremely lucky to have grown up in a home with two parent’s who are still so compatible and so madly in love. I will never take for granted that blessing, and I hope to carry their wonderful example with me so that whenever I am married, we will be just as successful.

Until next time
