Thanks for the years of being there. The kind of parent presence I had as a kid is the kind of presence I now try to be for my own.

Thank you. The values I take for granted are mostly ones you put there. Today, said clearly.

Thanks, parents. The way you've handled the hard chapters of family life is the proof of who you've been all along.

Thank you, Mom and Dad. The way you loved each other taught me what love between adults should look like. It's been one of the gifts of my life.

Thanks for the patience you've shown me — through the rough years, the questioning years, the years when I wasn't yet the person I wanted to be.

Thank you, parents. The home, the meals, the rides, the quiet conversations — all the small things that turned into the foundation of my life.
