As a child, I looked up to my parents and saw them as super heroes…always able to save the day! The teen years hit and my parents went from being people I looked up to, to being annoyances I thought I could do without. As an adult, with a child of my own, I find myself looking up to them again. I’m very lucky. I have both of my parents and although they haven’t been married since I was 2, they get along famously. It gives me a sense of comfort to know that my parents are helping each weather this crazy storm that started less than 3 months ago. I know that I can call on either one of them and they will be there, to listen, to talk to and to give me strength when I’m feeling weak. I can only imagine how brutal it must be for them to have to watch their child go through what I’m faced with. I struggle every day to be strong while I try to help my own child cope with what’s happening. I hope they know how much I love them, how much I appreciate them and how very thankful I am for all that they have done for me and continue to do for me…
