Thank my parents

At my wedding both publicly and privately I thanked my parents. They appreciated it but does a thank you ever really convey the true message?

i told her i am sorry I was a brat teenager… i am sure she did the best she could…

she almost cried….

I ask my dad to be forgiven & my mom I told her i am thank ful for her been my mom.

this mothers day,.... 11/05/08

yeah the moment is comming

spent the last two months with us. I had to study, but I still managed to take good care of them, I think. I cooked all the things they love best (my mother left with a bunch of recipes), we talked, we played cards with my son (some Disney cards), watched a few movies (they slept through most of them) and my mom spent a lot of time playing, drawing and painting with her grandson. All in all it was a pretty good vacation for them. The only reason I don’t mark this as done is because I still haven’t written that “love letter” (and I know I didn’t because I want it to be perfect). But I told my mom that; I told her how grateful I am for everything they’ve ever given me, from my education on. I told her pretty much everything. We talked a lot this time, and I asked her things about her life, her decisions, what made her happy, her regrets, her passions, about my dad too… I know it made her happy.

It’s our vacation and they are spending this month (and probably half of next) with us. We are a bit crowded, which gets on everyone’s nerves, but we manage.
I’m trying to give them a nice time, to cook all the things they like…
We try to keep the house more or less neat, we play card games (good and suited for both for my 5 year old and my senile father – no joke) and watch a movie in the evening (they sometimes sleep halfway through it, but that’s all right, too).
Trying to give them the best time I can is one of my ways to thank them.

I am making a list of the things I have to thank my parents for.

I wrote mom and dad a letter today and put it in the mail! Im glad i finally did this because i think it will mean alot to them that i took the time to write them a letter.

I was a difficult teenager, & I really should be thankful to my mom , she had her plate full, & I always excuse myself behing her mistakes, when I was a child an uncle (husband of my aunt sister of my mother)molest me, & I always toldmy mom that I was a bad teen bcuz she did not trust me that really happened, & when I was a little older another uncle molest me & later when I was like 13 a neighbor, & my mom never did a thing & blame it on my behavor & clothing (yes I was difficult). so it was for me easier to blame my parent for what they did not did than 4 what they did right.

my mom now apologize & believe in me when I say something to her. & now is time to let past behing forgive & be thankful for what she did right. that where many many many love acts for me & my brother.

time to move on my pride for when is need it.

i wrote my parents thank you cards and mailed them over thanksgiving weekend (I couldn’t be home). It was a huge surprise for them to receive and it meant a lot for me to simply write them. very good activity.
