They're still so young... which makes them GREAT grandparents!!!
and very much in love... (which makes them a great example of how it can be!)
My parents gave us the world...
I know I'm one of the fortunate few that was blessed to have my mom and dad for parents! Not just because they gave me unbelieveable opportunites ... like going to TMC and hearing Johnny Mac every week; so I could meet Tony (I mean, so I could get a degree and support myself)...
Not to mention all the great memories that I have of Hume lake, pink oatmeal for V-day, golfing in Hawaii, or eating "gross" speghetti in Italy (ungrateful brat that I was)...
or one of my personal favorites... riding a camel in Israel.
How many people get to ride camels to Bethlehem... (Don't mind that I'm scared spitless and this Yahoo is playing "tonsil hocky" with the camel. )
Yeah... my mom and dad ROCK!
But the greatest legacy that my parents are leaving... is not only their love for each other... but their love for their grand kids too!
They really are the best grandparent's in the world... even though they spent today out of town... away from their grandkids... on grandparents day!
Happy 40th anniversary mom and dad! I couldn't be more proud of you than I am... and we love you more than words can express!!!
ps... we're holding your grandparent's day gift hostage until you remember to "call us when you get there" like you're supposed to!!!
