Thank You Grandma and Papa Cassel

Grandma & Papa... I tricked you... this isn't really a post about you.. I am sure that will come later.  I have about a million bazillion things I could thank you guys for, but today I want to focus on one specifically. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME MY MOM. (I am sure this wasn't intentionally done as a future gift for me your not yet dreamed of granddaughter, but I feel blessed none the less.)

Thankfully every year we get a WHOLE DAY to celebrate the wonderful human being that the two of you brought into the world.  She is funny, smart, kind and considerate. She is loving, giving and forgiving. (Lord knows sisters and I have tested each of these characteristics, but without fail, she holds true to the person she is.)

Thank you Grandma and Papa for making me a mom that I can look up to and aspire to be like. Thank you for raising a person that that I can laugh with and be truly myself with. ( I am sure some of this is just momly duties, as it would be super rude of her to judge me, the person she made... but, she I have never felt that I wasn't fully accepted and loved by her)


 You have made her understanding and compassionate.  I can't count the number of phone calls she has gotten from me crying my eyeballs out... and she still answers my calls.

You gave her beauty and strength, wit and sarcasm (you could have maybe held back a little on those two :) j/k) You made her an all around joy of a person to be near.  Her laughter and love alike are contagious.

Thank you Grandma and Papa for making the woman that made me... so I guess I could thank you for making me... which maybe you should thank me for being made because I am pretty remarkable or maybe my birth was mom's thank you to you for making her so great... who knows.. but maybe :)

Mom, 

Thank you for the struggles you went through to have me. (Perhaps it takes fertility treatments to make extra cool babies... that would explain my awesomeness!) Thank you for the love you have given myself and sister's whether or not we were deserving.  Thank you for raising us...period. Lord knows that took some work. Thank you for being the insanely wonderful woman that you are. I hope the world sees a little bit of you in each of us.  Love you to the moon and back and back again! Happy Birthday!
