As of August of this year my father will be retired. Congratulations Dad, you deserve it. Both you and Mom have always been supportive, loving, and nurturing parents. You sacrificed for us and took care of us. As children we don't realize that you have lives, problems, hurts, wants, and needs outside of our adolescent narcissism. Therefore on a day that you might not feel well we might throw a tantrum about wanting two treats, not just one. Well I do realize and I want you to know that I love You. We all do. I don't tell you as much as I should.
When I come home my mind is filled with happiness and good memories. All of us kids are lucky to call you Mom and Dad.
Mom - Make sure Buddy and Bella read this too.
Dad - There is no need for a second source.
With Love and Respect,
Your 1st Son
Sometimes you call me Maury.
