Parents are the best

My mom was in town last weekend and it's always fun with her. She spent most of her time helping/staying with my grandma, but we got to sneak in a couple of days with her. True to her nature, whenever she comes she spends all her time helping people.

This past trip reminded me again why I am so lucky to have my parents. Even though my dad couldn't come out he made sure that my mom took us grocery shopping. My mom helped me do some projects that I really needed done. No matter what stage of life I am at, my parents have always been at my side helping me. I remember my mom waking up at 4:30 every morning before seminary to make me breakfast. I'm talking eggs and bacon type of breakfast. I was lucky enough to have my dad at the hospital to give me much needed words of encouragement and strength right before Liam came. They always seem to have the right answers and when they don't they know just how to comfort me.

Each day I try to be the type of parent to Liam that my parents are to me. I won't get close but I'm grateful that they're here cheering me on every step of the way.
