HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM & DAD!
Today's my mom and dad's 40th wedding anniversary. 40 years...wow! My
sister came up with this amazing idea of getting them 40 roses, each
with a message of why we're so thankful to them. Some are more generic
like we're thankful that you taught us right from wrong and some are
specific like thank you for a fantastic trip to Disneyland, etc. So I
asked my sister to snap a photo for me so that I could keep the memory.
Here's the photo. And here are all the translated reasons (the originals
are in Turkish).
For being our mom and dad Daddy, for always being a kid with us Mommy, for never putting up with our acting spoiled For accepting your son-in-laws as if they were your own kids For always giving love without expecting it in return Daddy, for being the most fun grandfather Mommy, for always showing us the cup's half full side For putting us first in your life For raising us with the right values Daddy, for putting on unforgettable parties for us Mommy, for teaching us to be thankful every day For always managing to stay young at heart Daddy, for explaining us the values of our roots Mommy, for always putting up with us Mommy, for teaching us not to worry about penny-accounting Daddy, for teaching us to never hurt anyone Daddy, for staying with us with love each time we got sick For being the best grandmother Mommy, for teaching us to save money Daddy, for quitting smoking even though it was incredibly difficult for you Daddy, for never hurting our feelings Mommy, for your creativity and always being an example to us Mommy, for being near us under every condition as we became mothers Daddy, for watching movies with us for hours when we were little and translating every word Daddy, for teaching us math with games For always urging us to do anything we wanted in life For always sharing every topic we were interested in Mommy, for warning us that true friendship is rare and hard to find Daddy, for taking the time to save our memories For an unbelieavable and unforgettable Disney World trip For teaching us honesty and integrity Mommy, for teaching us the importance of standing on our own two feet For getting remarried (to each other) For encouraging us to learn foreign languages from a young age For emphasizing the importance of sisterhood For telling us family is more important than anything else For giving us the opportunity to see different countries and meet different cultures For your unlimited patience and understanding For accepting both your daughters as who they each are For reminding us the importance of love every minute of every day We love you because for 40 years for each other, for 38 years for yona, 35 years for Karen, 15 years for Jake and Isaac, 10 years for Axel and Jeff, and 4 years for David, you were by our side for each joy and sorrow and we cannot imagine a life without you.
