I think I have the best parents ever!


By Daeni Ito, 365 Days of Service, Maui Chapter

My parents babysit our almost 8 month old on a regular basis, which is
no easy task. Early this month, we needed to move into a new house, a
task in itself, but during the holidays made everything double the
hassle to get everything ready for Kenna's first Christmas as well.
Some how my parents knew exactly what we needed when we needed it.
From babysitting all day while we are at work, to babysitting all
night while we were packing/moving...they did it all. Not only that,
but made us dinner to go every night, moved/packed/delivered our
things, took care of our dogs, put furniture together, washed
laundry/dishes, made Christmas treats for us to give to co-workers,
wrapped our Christmas gifts and the list continues to constantly grow.
Anything we needed, they did before even asking. It's amazing how
parents know exactly what you need even before you need it.They did it
all with a smile, not a complaint or grumble, I know they were tired,
but they never once mentioned it.  And for that, I think I have the
best parents ever and have a lot of gratefulness and gratitude for
them.
