I wanted to show you what I have been working on for the last couple of days. It is a gift to my parents, their anniversary is February 11th so I made them this Valentine. I was having problems with the lighting so I picked this picture it seemed to be the best of all I took. I will try to take a better picture before I send it to them.
I hope to take a better picture for some reason (even with my new camera) it was coming out too red.
My parents will be married for 55 years on February 11th, quite an accomplishment they fight like cats and dogs but I admire them for staying together through thick and thin. It is like a love/hate thing they get on each others nerves but then when something happens to one or the other they are so concerned. Both of my parents are dealing with health issues but they are there for each other even when they fight. I couldn't live in the situation that they live in (maybe that is why I am single) but no matter what happens they are still together. I love them both and it makes me so happy that they have weathered the storm where other people would have walked away. My father has always been a hard worker supporting 5 kids at jobs no one would like, but he did it. I remember when we would go to church and when we would get back home he would put on the stereo you know the vinyl records and he would sing with the music....."The're gonna put me in the movies...gonna make a big star out of me ...All I gotta do is Act Naturally!!!" It makes me cry just thinking of my dad and what I admire about him. My mother went to work when I was 5 years old and they had 5 children I was the oldest and so I was suppose to be the best behaved one which I was :)
Gosh I miss when I was growing up....sometimes I remember I wanted different parents since they were so strict!! But now as I became a parent I understand some of the things they were trying to instill in me. I am truly blessed that my parents are still here to enjoy. Even though I live in Florida and they live in Michigan I do not go a day thinking about them and rejoice they are still here to love on this earth. My mother battled cancer in 2009 and she won!!!
Thank you for listening to me rattle on.....I really appreciate all of you!!!
