I have found in writing these cards that some of the people closest to me can be the hardest to write. I have written probably three drafts of a letter to my parents. What do I say? Do I thank them for years and years of giving and taking care of me? Do I thank them for the most recent way they have helped me and my family? Do I focus on one event? Do I make it a broad spectrum "thank you?"
I want my thank-you notes to be about specific ways each person has touched my life, but my parents are constantly affecting my life for the better. They are two of the most sacrificing people I know, especially when it comes to my brother and me and our kids. If I were to write a thank you for everything I could think of, it would be a book!
In writing this blog post, I have figured out how to "tackle" my thank you to my parents. I need to separate them and write a letter to each individual parent. Duh! That is what I did for Brad's parents; why didn't I think of that for my own? This will be much easier. Now, I'm off to write their thank yous!
