This one is easy! My parents still inspire me everyday...
My dad because he was brave through much adversity, kind and always willing to lend a helping hand, never afraid to voice his opinion but was also fair. He had a soft spot for kids and animals and a love of nature and camping. He never let me wonder how much he loved me, I was always 100% aware that I was the center of his world.
My mom because she had the ability to keep all of us straight, she taught me about not worrying about what people think about you, and was truly my best friend as an adult. She also somehow survived the five or so years of my childhood when I simply refused to sleep at night.
I didn't appreciate it as much in the moment but my parents sacrificed a lot for me...they gave me their precious time when I wanted to be involved in a gazillion 4-H projects, they drove me to all my band practices and competitions, and were there to cheer me and my friends on at every one of them. They made sure we figured out a way for me to go to the college I had my heart sat on, and then when I was homesick, made sure I had a way to get home on the weekends and back in time for class on Monday.
Thank you for inspiring me every single day that I had with you and every day still! <3
