I'm lucky. Actually really lucky. I knew growing up that my parents were cool. Yes we had growing pains, who doesn't, but we had trust and we had FUN! My parents were always ready for a good time, they are the parents that are close with all their daughters friends. My dad is funny and my mom is as cute as a button! Since becoming an adult the relationship has only become stronger and more grounded. The needs are no longer material goods, food, house, car - but support, guidance, advice, and love. To know you can pick on the phone, put out a distress call and with little to no questions asked they're there - and if your Allie they're there in full body armor!!! You know it's true Als :) It's amazing to still get that as an adult.
But more amazing than that is the love and affection they give your children, their grandchildren. They jump right in, no holds barred, both hands on the wheel because this train aint stopping! Sure it's work, but they don't complain, they love them -- they adore them.
So to MomMom and PopPop - thanks for always being there. Thanks for listening to Sydney talk for hours, dancing with Jackman, taking them on walks, laughing with them, making them special meals, instantly changing the tv to Disney, having a safe place for them, remaining patient when the madness has ensued, giving in to Sydney's nag nag nag, rearranging your furniture, letting the family room, porch, basement, office, kitchen, kids room, and bathroom explode in about 45 minutes, putting their needs before your own, giving them love and teaching them, your help is changing their lives and ours.
YOU ROCK!!!
WITH LOVE - K, T, S, J and Lucy
