I'd like to take this chance to tell my parents THANK YOU. Without going into a lot of detail, I wasn't the most well behaved child (not extreme either), while I hated them then, I now am amazed on how well they taught me life's lessons. Parenting is not an easy task which I learned and am still learning. I'm not afraid to say that I have had my share of beatings at the hands of both my parents, I am still afraid of my Dad to this day, but there are not words to describe how much I fear the wrath of my Mom....all 5' 1" and 100lbs of her.
