Thank you

Spent the day at my parents house for Thanksgiving. They used to live 5 min. from me but they recently moved 20 min. away from their home to a condo. My father has had 3 hip replacement surgeries and has Parkinsons. Stairs did not agree with him.

On this day, I give thanks to my Mom and Dad.

I may no longer be that little child who always wanted another hug or minute with you , but I still miss you when we are apart.

I may no longer need your hand for every step I take, but I still need your acceptance and support of everything I do.

I may not be that little child who asked for all the things I ever wanted in the world, but that's because long ago you taught me how to go after my dreams.

I may no longer be that little child who looked to you to share every hurt, smile and tear, but I still feel like that child whenever I think of you.

I'll always love you, Mom and Dad, with the heart of that little child grown to love you only more.
