Thank you for all the wonderful childhood memories that make me smile even today. So many are the everyday memories of just being part of a family and things parents do "just because". Thank you for holding me on your lap in the rocking chair, for singing me songs and tucking me into bed at night. Thank you for helping me put on my socks and for tying my shoes. Thank you for the last sip of coffee in your cup, for Lifesavers during church, and for letting me watch you make dinner. Thank you for threatening to warm up your icy hands on my warm tummy, for bananas and milk at night, and a pet dog. Thank you for loving my friends. Thank you for taking us to the roller-skating rink so many summer nights. Thank you for drawing pictures with us and taking us to Sunday school. Thank you for camping trips and picnics, for letting us pick vegetables in your garden, and for bicycles. Thank you for all those Fisher-Price toys and the blocks for building houses. Thank you for Five-Day Bible Club in our backyard and for taking the whole neighborhood to VBS in the back of the
