I have told them this many times, but I can not say it enough. I am thankful for my parents who are now both 80 years old. They have made possible a wonderful life for 9 children, I think 27 grandchildren, and now many great grandchildren. The fact that these two wonderful people could put so much love, energy, concern, and show us all such good decision making skills and good strong work ethic has just been a guiding light to all of us. Given us all the ability to lead such good life through the faith that they taught us. Brought us all such good fortune. And by that I mean the ability to love others, make a good living, provide a comfortable, safe home for our families, etc. Thank you Mom and Dad.
