You mean beyond the funnies, cordless power drills, silly
puns, super glue?
No seriously, I guess
it would be my parent’s example.
I was estranged
from my parents for many years, something they didn't want. It took years and obvious evidence of their
trying before I believed they really wanted to close the breach. It was never easy.
We all had to work hard at
not letting the past rob the future, letting go of old hurts, and harsh
communications, to build new memories and good experiences shared once
more. Because of the time and work we
put in, our bonds are strong and I can safely say I count them as my closest
friends.
So, if I must pick one thing
I'm grateful for, it would be my parent’s ability to fight the odds, admit
mistakes, and change with the need to strive for something beyond measure; and
their patience in passing that skill along to me. It has made me a better person and steadied
all my relationships since.
Oooo, and
I’m grateful for hot cocoa. =)
