I met my mom this morning.  It was really nice.  We wandered around the mall, she bought me some socks, and then we went to a restaurant and ate lunch.  During lunch she wrote me a check for $200 for my trip to NYC that I’m leaving on next Friday.  I didn’t ask, but she and my dad wanted to give me a little money before I went.  I’m so grateful to have such wonderful parents.  I really don’t know where I would be today without them.  They have supported me through so much and I owe the world to them.  My parents are such wonderful people they really deserve to have great children.  I plan on repaying them the best way I know how:  by living my life to the fullest.  I know they want nothing more than to see their children succeed and to be happy.  And that’s exactly what I plan on doing.
