My father.

A gift from the forces of nature that was bestowed upon me without any doing of my own. I must have done something right in another life… And when I get sad or depressed or think the world is against me and nothing is going my way, all I have to do is think about my father and I suddenly realize, I’m the luckiest person in the world. (not to mention my amazing mother, but that’s another blog…)

Good parents are truly invaluable.

It’s not about what they give you or do for you or offer you.

It’s about WHO they are.
