HAPPY 32nd ANNIVERSARY!

32!!!!!

Today is the 32nd anniversary of two of the greatest parents to hit planet earth, and today, I wish them the absolute best. I wish I had stolen at least a digital copy of a few more pictures of my parents in their "yesteryears," as Mom calls them; I wanted to illustrate how although they have certainly put a few more years under their belts, their youth is more defined than most of my peers.

check these two out! ♥♥

Words really don't give proper justice to how much I love them, but for what it's worth, I literally owe them my life... but not in the traditional capacity of a parent-child relationship. The fact that I'm adopted isn't news to anyone who knows me, but there is never an inopportune moment to pause and be thankful for that transpiring of events. I would know a very different lifestyle if not for them; with the recent tsunami tragedy in the Philippines, there is no telling if I would even still be on this earth today. To commit your lives to raising children not born to you is something I don't yet know, and something I only hope I have the compassion to do if that blessing presents itself to me.

Happy 32nd Anniversary to my beautiful parents. Thank you for the examples you've set along the way, for the realistic expectations you've helped me to develop and keep, for the standards you've taught me to have and for the unconditional support, forgiveness and love you've given me in spite of the times we all know I did not deserve it. Here's to another year of your lives together; I am beyond thankful to have you in mine.

I love you!
