Stubborn and Strong

If you ask my parents to describe me, the word "stubborn" would certainly be among their descriptors.  I was a heck of a child to deal with growing up! (and sometimes still)  But, the older I get, the more I appreciate my stubbornness...and the more I appreciate my parents.

Thank you for letting me be stubborn, Mom.

By letting me be stubborn...I grew up to be strong.

I couldn't have made it through the last year and half without that strength.  Or without you by my side.

I love you!

(and let's be honest, you really didn't stand a chance trying to undo my stubbornness.)
