If you had parents like mine

If you had parents like mine you'd be 28, penniless, and not have a worry in the world. You'd have a safety net the size of the grand canyon. Every day you'd wake up feeling like you had the opportunity to do anything. That's because I do. I grew up with no wants. My entire child hood was, well...blessed to use a religious word. All 3 of us kids had it well. I don't have a clue what it's like to go without. I don't take it for granted...not any more. I've been given the opportunity to take risks. It's a luxury few people have. It's a mental freedom that I cant explain. All of it is because I have some pretty damn awesome parents. I can't thank them enough though I hardly do in person. Maybe they'll read this. Maybe I'll change the world and have the opportunity to thanks them publicly. Maybe I'll gather all the kind words as I lay flowers on their head stones. No matter the time, they wont be expecting it. It was all done out of selflessness. It's only now, that I have a kid of my own, that I can truly understand this.
