there were a gazillionth a time i wished i said spoke that which i whispered in my mind. the mental notes of appreciated, of acknowledgment, of understanding the depth of someone’s words or actions. to translate to words the warm, fuzzy shimmering glow of being moved by another being.
i decided to start with my parents, the keys to who i am today. i got a set of blank thank you cards and i filled one out for each of them – COMPLETELY filled with my scribblings which i hope are legible.
i wrote those cards out almost a year ago, and i keep telling myself every other day that today will be the day i actually give it to them.
i’ve yet to do so. why is it so difficult to share with them my innermost gratitude and appreciation for the blessed life i lead?
my parents will be renewing their wedding vows next week, 35 years of marriage. i’m planning to give them these long overdue cards on that day.
keeping my fingers crossed
