Thank you

Thank You. It's something that most of us don't say often enough. I know I don't. Especailly to my parents. Think of all the things that they do for you. How may times do you stop to tell them how much you appreciate what they do for you and for that matter, do you even really know?

My dad goes to work every day of the week...7 days a week. Yep, he doesn't have one day off during the week. That's because he is a horse rancher/farmer. Being a farmer is a 7 day a week job. There is always something to do and its a dirty job. My dad works hard so that we don't have to go without. He works during the daylight hours and then comes home and works some more. When I need a ride somewhere, because I don't have my drivers liscense yet, he takes me. He helps me with my Spanish homework. When I'm scared, he is there to hold my hand.

My mom works hard too. She only has to work Monday through Friday, but when she is done each day, she comes home to make dinner, clean the house, help with home work, do laundry...and the list goes on. Not only that but she volunteers at school. She is our show choir Parent Rep for Happiness. She helps make the costumes, organizes everything for the competitions, sends out communications to all the parents, types the newsletter and many more things that I'm sure I don't even know about. Not only do my parents do this for me, but they do it for my brother and sister as well.

I for one have a lot to be thankful to them for. (411)
