We so often think that parenting is a thankless job.....Yes, that tends to be true until your child has reached parenthood. That is when I began to write thank you notes to my mom on a regular basis.
Mom thank you for always being there
Thank you for providing in every way.
Thank you for being a constant example
Thank you for being fair
Thank you for going the extra mile
Thank you for the boundaries
Thank you for the support
Thank you for never "rubbing my nose in it"
Thank you for ironing my bed on those cold cold nights
Thank you for planning fun
Don't forget Dad either....
There is nothing like a hand written card or note. Start something today and send one. If your parent is alive send a thank you. They may have been far from perfect but I actually think that is beside the point. There has got to be something that you can find to thank them for. You can also write one to your husband, child, teacher etc etc The sky is the limit.
Life is short ~ let people know that you care
Blessings!
