i have learned a lot about my co-workers in the last week.co-workers at Magleby's that is...
i have known Tara for 3 years and Whitney for 1 year.
and little did i know until recently that their fathers had passed away.
Tara's dad died when she was 13 and Whitney's about 2 years ago. [i think that's right.]
wow.
that's all i could say was wow.
i was floored.
i just assumed this whole time whenever they would say "my mom" instead of "my parents" that their parents had split up.
it was amazing to me how they are now.
i mean...i know you can't mope around your whole life feeling like your life couldn't get any worse.
but it made me feel very ungrateful.
i don't think twice about being able to talk to my daddy.
i can do it whenever i want.
when i am home, i can sit in his lap.
when i am away, i can call him and listen to his voice.
i need to tell my daddy [and mama] that i love them more often.
i need to call them more.
i need to say thank you more.
i don't know if Tara or Whitney read this, but if you do...y'all are amazing and i really admire your strength.
and to my parents...i love y'all.
that's all i have to say.

And I talked to my dad yesterday and told him about our cake-making and he said to say hello from both the 'rents. So there you go! :)
Daddy thought this was sweet. We both did. He also enjoyed the pictures! Thank you, Kaycie, for being such a thoughtful and loving daughter and for taking the time to share your feelings. We love you so much. But you know that, don't you?! :0) And to your sweet friends Tara and Whitney, we love you too! We thank you for your wonderful example and strength! Mama & Daddy Maurer
