Day 119: My parent's generosity

Today I am very thankful for my parent's generosity. I would like to apologize first for the length of this post. lol They have been generous to me my entire life and have always made sure I have what I need. I am not talking about things that I don't need like Ipods and video games and more clothes than I needed. I am talking about true needs like a roof over my head and food to eat and a place to call home etc. I was inspired to write this when I read a post on face book about a story on CTV and the comments that were underneath. This isn't really about what the CTV story was about but it inspired me to write about this. I missed the story on the news though sadly. The story on the news was about adult children still being at home with their parents. The comments I read underneath the post on facebook bothered me because people seem to think that laziness causes this (sometimes it does) but that isn't always the case and I felt the need to defend myself and others I suppose. As anyone who knows me knows, I have been through some difficult stuff that has kept me from being able to work the last few years and be independent which I crave so desperately. My parents have continued to be generous and have allowed me to live at home while I get through my recovery. I still pay what I can for rent and I pay for most of the food I consume and I am thankful that my needs are met. Anyone who has followed my blog understands that I am aware of all that I have and that I am very thankful for it. I feel I should highlight my parent's generosity on my blog because it deserves to be mentioned and I want to share with others how thankful I am for them. I really wish I could be living on my own and even just work again because I actually miss working! lol Just to be able to hold a paycheck in my hands again and know that I earned it. I am also so thankful for my parents for helping me through the most difficult parts of recovery which are now thankfully behind me! Stuff like being unable to move around on my own (when I was in a wheel chair) and needing help just to get changed which was not easy for someone who likes to be independent. I am sure it wasn't the funnest thing for my mom to help with either. lol  I am also extremely thankful for my parents taking me to Edmonton for all my appointments and surgeries which has taken up alot of time. But my parents helped me with everything and I am so thankful for it! :) I hope that someday I can repay them for all they have done for me but I don't know if I can ever do anything big enough to even come close to showing how grateful I am for them. I hope that this post shows a bit of how thankful I am for my parents and their generosity and why I am thankful for them. Thanks for putting up with a long post!
