My Parents Gave Me It All

They may disagree, but growing up my parents gave me it all.

That's my parents Dennis and Kelly last year at a birthday party

I remember playing and having fun. Christmas was always good. There was family around a lot. I don't remember ever going hungry, a lot of anger, missing out on things I wanted, being sad, bad birthdays. I had a good childhood. When I grew up I found out that we were POOR. I was looking at a picture and asked my mom why she let me where those shoes with a dress, she said she couldn't afford to buy me more then one pair of shoes and sneakers made the most scene to get.
I didn't have dance lessons or the newest toy, but I was a happy kid. And what's better then that. Jared and I are supper tight on money right now, and Christmas is looking extremely small for our family it helps to remember that even though we didn't have many things growing up I did have more then enough. My parents loved me and did all they could for me and my sibling. My brothers, sisters, and I got along great and always had a super fun time together. And I don't remember bad times.

If my kids grow up remembering that Christmas was always special, we had a good time, they always had clean clothes, warm blankets, and didn't ever go to bed hungry, mom and dad love them and spent time with them, listened to them then I've done like my parents and given my kids all they really need.Baby James last December
