DAY FOUR:
Your Parents
As I mentioned before, my parents are the reason that that I know and feel unconditional loved. I am blessed beyond words to have my parents unconditional support – they have been my cheerleaders through my whole life to where I stand today.
I love that I still get to talk to my parents at least once a week (but I usually talk to my Mom two times a week or more). I am fortunate to have them to call when I’ve forgotten how long to cook the pot roast, which cables to hook up when jumping a car, to cry to when I feel sad or lonely or scared, or talkwaytoofastto when I have exciting news to share. When Casey proposed to me, we called my parents immediately, both laying giggling on the kitchen floor listening to my parents also explode with joy. 
When we began to plan our wedding, my parents were one of the very few people who did not pressure us to do something the way they wanted it done – they only wanted us to be happy. I got to dance with both my mother and my father on my wedding day – they walked me down the aisle together – and together they’ve shown me what it means to be together for better or for worse. There will never be enough words to say thank you to them – but that won’t ever stop me from trying to express my gratitude. Thank you, Mom & Dad. I love you!
