Truly Thankful

I just don't know how I would do it If I didn't have you I'd be back in such a horrible situation Maybe I'd have not even made it at all Because I never knew who to trust I got in so much trouble with all the wrong people I was always right there on the cusp Letting people use and abuse me Other's just taking what they wanted for victory You guys saved my life and I know it I couldn't be me without you I am the luckiest person ever Because my parents are the best people March 3, 2016

Parents, they are all we hope to be. We just don't know it until it's too late. Great write. Peace:)

I feel my parents really did save my life. Literally. There are things they got me away from and now I can't think of how I'd have ended up if they didn't intervene. Thank you so much for your time and words.

Without a doubt parents make us what we are today! A very nice tribute to mom and dad!
