A Time to Say 'Thank You'

Yes, yes another blog post about the Olympics...

But I have to say, that with the Olympics coming to a close, it always makes me sad. Fortunately we only have to wait two years for all the records, pageantry, and stories that tug at the heart strings.

Saying that, just in the last week I've been inspired by so many stories of parents supporting the dreams of their children (adult or not, it doesn't matter). So much so, that I called my parents just to say "thanks".

I'm not an Olympic athlete, nor will I ever become one. But my parents gave me life, a roof over my head, higher education, and have supported my decisions in life. I've thanked them many times throughout my life, but an unexpected thank you is always nice.

This one's for you Mom and Dad--thank you for getting me where I wanted to be in life :)
