My dad is so friendly, level headed, and easy going that it is hard for me at times to believe that he is a part of this often times drama filled family. I rarely talk to him and the conversations we do have are generally short and to the point but I know that he loves me and I love him too. He has and continues to work hard to support his family and is a all around good man.My mom is well... my mom, and everyone who knows her knows that she would be willing to give all she has to help others. We have been known to butt heads on nearly a daily basis. I am grateful that even if we differ in opinion and argue a lot that it always starts fresh the following day and that no grudges or hard feelings are held for long periods of time. Its a unique relationship and although it has probably caused a great deal of stress on both parts I can hardly imagine it any differently. Even though I almost always disagree with her (sometimes only because I have a long history of doing so), I always ask and listen to her opinion on most important decisions.
Thanks to both of you for all that you do.

What a sweet post about your parents. I am sure they are very proud of you.
Apologies the original comment was incomplete, I was distracted with phone calls at the time.
What a surprise! Sure makes me wonder what you're up to. Kind of like that saying, "Smile. It makes everyone wonder what you're up to." ;-)
I have no idea why you call it an argument anytime you do not like something I say or do. That isn't arguing, it's just having different lines of thought. :-)
We love you bunches, Jacob, and we are proud of the good works you do. You're committed and hard-working and you enjoy time with friends and family. Maria has brought focus into your life as the two of you build your life together. We are so excited to see the changes fatherhood will bring for you! We're looking forward to graduation day, too!
