• Dear mom and dad…

  Happy Anniversary!
  happy 27 years of life together!

  thank you for showing me faithfulness, loyalty, and fidelity.
  thank you for showing me how a family works, and doesn’t work, and then apologizes, talks it through, and works again.
  thank you for showing me that a promise is a promise.
  thank you for having me 11 months after you got married.
  thank
  you for having a vision for me, and giving me an education which meant
  learning how to think and find information on my own.
  thank you for
  wanting and encouraging one thing for me: that i would find God’s will
  for my life and pursue it. i am here in Brasil because of God’s grace
  and your blessing.
  thank you dad, for being there. for hugs and i love yous and twirling a little girl around and telling her she is beautiful.
  thank
  you mom for being with me. by my side as i learned cursive in
  kindergarten to the passengers side as i happily drove you places.
  thank you for creating a place i can come home to, and know i will be spoiled by lots of ice cream and omlets.

  i love you both,
  Rachel
