I may be biased. I may have spent 20 years years with them. However I am convinced they are the best parents out there and after these reason don't even try to argue with me.
1. They love me unconditionally no matter what
No matter the situation good or bad they will always love me
2. They are totally relationship goals
20 years of marriage, 3 kids and lots of ups and downs yet everyday I see the love they have for each other. The way my mom talks about my dad when he's not around and the things my dad does for my mom on a daily basis melt my heart.
3. They let their light for Jesus shine daily
They let their love for Jesus and his will show in everything they do. The are Godly examples of what a marriage should be, how Christians should act and how to raise Godly children.
4. They are comedians
There is hardly ever a time you will find them being serious. Joking around is how they spend about 95% of their time together. A good balance of roasting each other and flirtation is the key to a solid relationship.
5. They always put their kids before themselves
It could be something as simple as food but if they know one of us children need it they are more than willing to go without so we can have what we need.
6. They're working to teach our future generations
Both of them teach children that will one day grow up to become members of this society. The go to school everyday and walk into their classroom not knowing what to expect, they work 365 days a year on school work and most importantly they teach these children things they will need to know for life, not just for a test or for school but they teach them life lessons.
7. They can dance
Does your dad hit the folks? Does your mom whip and nea nea? Nope didn't think so
8. They raised us right
They raised us three children to have manners, respect, a good work ethic, a love for others and most importantly a love for Jesus Christ
9. They support each other
I have seen my mother sit in freezing cold weather to watch my dad coach football. I have also watched my dad softly kiss my mom on the forehead reassuring her that she did the right thing.
10. They are forgiving
I've been on this earth for 20 years living with them and to say I have made some mistakes is an understatement yet somehow they still forgive me. They forgive me no matter what the situation and let me know everything is gonna be alright.
11. They show us it's ok to make mistakes
My parents do not put up a front. They are open with us kids so that we know that it is ok to make mistakes. They make sure we know that no one is perfect.
12. They are supportive
Football games, baseball games, soccer games, sorority events the list goes on and on. Spending hours at games, being surrounded by sorority girls and staying up late to carpool are just a few of the things they do to show support for what us kids love to do.
13. They push us
They don't expect anything less than the best. They push us in everything we do from school to athletics they want us to be the best we can be
14. They are fun
My parents are a blast. There is never a quiet night at our house. It is always filled with laughter, jokes and chances are you'll hear a game of guess this song going on. They're the types of parents all my friends love and don't mind hanging out with.
15. They're my role models
Since I can remember I have always looked at my parents as role models. They are Godly, fun loving, understanding, caring parents and the relationship I have with them is one like no other. They are always there for me and always will be.
I have seen children resent, hate and have no relationship with their parents. My heart hurts for these people because I know that no matter what I have my parents I can always turn too in time of need, celebration or any occasion in between. I love them unconditionally and always will.
