In Honor Of My Loving Parents

One of the Ten Commandments: Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother

My parents were remarkable and outstanding. I have been very blessed to have the most wonderful and perfect parents in my life. They helped shape me into the person I am today and much more. My parents inspire me every day to succeed and move forward in life to achieve everything humanly possible while I am on earth. My parents were compassionate and understanding and considerate of my needs. Every day I am alive, I strive to make my parents proud.

When I was about eight years old, my Father made a seat for his tractor for me to sit on while he planted corn, etc. My Father always wanted to keep me safe and out of harm’s way. My Father taught me how to deal with contractors and business people. My Father told me to get several bids on a project to get a good deal without being taken advantage of. I followed my Father around as much as possible and learned how to make many different repairs on different items by watching him over the years. My Father was kind, compassionate, and always willing to help someone in need. I am posting a picture of my Father showing me my first cat Flossie. Flossie walked out to the field where my Father was to die. She wanted to be next to him when she passed on.

My Mother would read a book to me at night until I fell asleep. My Mother was kind, gentle, compassionate, and very caring. My Mother would pick me up from school when I was sick and take me home, and I would get better quickly with her loving care. When I was very ill as a child, my parents slept on the floor next to me in my hospital room until they knew I would finally get better.

My Mother was a librarian for over thirty years. She checked out many books from the library for me to read. My Mother read a lot, and now I love to read a lot. Knowledge is learned through books and from your parents, God, and friends.

I  was very blessed to have the perfect parents possible in my life. My parents had good Christian values. Some of their deals were to treat people like you would want to be treated and help people in need; if you cannot say anything good, then do not say anything at all, and the spoken word is like a sped arrow lost in the night. My Mother wrote down the following to me in an autograph book that I had people right down sayings in. My Mother wrote: As you glide down the river of life, I wish you a long and beautiful ride.

My Father and I cared for my Mother at home until the last three days of her life. My Mother died in our local hospital. I visited my Father daily in the Rest Home for three years and three months. My Father died in the Rest Home. God Bless my parents for enriching my life in many fantastic and extraordinary ways.
