Walking recently I was admiring the beauty of the maple and other trees around. We take so much for granted in life. Daily I am thankful for christian parents who sacrificed for us. There were many days in my childhood when Mom and Dad would let us finish our meals before they ate theirs. Sacrificing for their children. One memory has stayed with me.
We were required to wear uniforms to school. Dad earned $0.14 an hour and worked two jobs. Mom would wash our uniforms after school and had them pressed for us to go to school the next morning. Parents dedicated to doing their best for their children. I am writing these memories with a thankful heart to God for His love. Happy Thanksgiving.
What a blessing Dr. Whittaker to read about your parents and their daily sacrifice. Truly we as parents set an example that continues for many generations. You also have carried on the "sacrifice" and may it continue many generations to come! With thanksgiving, Rick
