Today my family and I visited my mom's brother Mark and his wife Sharon, who I lived with for several years during high school. They are like another set of parents to me and I have a great love for both of them. So here's what I was thinking about today. Whenever it comes to mother's day I usually only think of my mom and forget my aunt, and the same thing for father's day but for my uncle, thus my sadness. I wish I didn't forget to show love/care to those who have impacted my life until later, and sometimes too later. I always like reminders and the easiest way I could think of is create an Aunt's Day and Uncle's Day. There are already a lot of holidays, and I don't see how businesses wouldn't like the additional excuse to sell whatever.
What I'm trying to say is...
To my Aunt Sharon and Uncle Mark,
Even though it's past mother's day and past father's day I want you to know you will always be my other parents. I cherish the memories I made with you and will never forget the kindness you rendered me in my time of need. You treated me as one of the family and still do. I'll never forget watching Colonel Potter, Captains Honeycut and Pearce on M.A.S.H. or working in the garden until the sun was too hot. I am a better person, a better man because of you.
With all my heart, Thank you!
