Giving Thanks Day 16th ~ Home is Where Our Story Begins

Today I am thankful for, and truly grateful for....having my parents here visiting for the weekend. The boys were so excited to wake up and see their Memaw and PawPaw when they came down to eat breakfast. The look on Elliott's face was priceless this morning. We drove to school and they are excited that we are coming back to eat lunch with them. Tonight we'll have a Pizza Party, go to ECU to see a play "Martha Speaks" and afterwards to Krispy Kreme to get sugared up! We had planned to go to the beach but the Nor'Easter will keep the weather damp and windy starting tomorrow. Looks like I will be decorating the house with some help (hahaha). No matter what we do, it will be treasured just being together. Having my parents here is like bringing a little bit of Home here...and Home is where Our Story Begins ♥ Today I am thankful for having my parents here visiting, I'm everything I am because they loved me. This is for them (it's the lyrics to a song I danced with my daddy to on my wedding day):
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'cause you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me
