Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

My parents.

I realize that no one is perfect - but sometimes I like to think that they are.

They are such amazing people. They lead by example. They are silly. They have done both financial and marriage counseling - so I'm set! They give us everything we need and more. They are selfless. They are always available - I could call my dad at work with a computer question and unless he is extremely busy he will always stop and help me. Also he will always come to save me from any spider that is ever within 20 feet of me. They allow me to be who I am and trust my judgement. They are merciful and sweetly accept any apology (I've had to apologize for plenty of things). I would say the only exception to this would be from the times I was an unruly adolescent and would rudely say "Sorry!!" to my mom and she would respond, "Don't say you're sorry! Show that you are sorry!" Hahaha. I deserved it.

They have been married almost 25 years! And they are still in love. I hope I will someday have a relationship like theirs. For now I am content to simply have a relationship with them.
