Day 18 Thanks
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.
