How much do we really appreciate each other? Do we always say \u2018thank you?\u2019 Do we always make sure our friends and family know just how much we need and love them? I think there\u2019s a definite lack of appreciation in this world. We don\u2019t always acknowledge that chivalrous man who opens the door for us; we don\u2019t always tell our mothers and fathers how excellent their cooking is. And that\u2019s a shame. We should acknowledge each other more. We should show our appreciation every day. This is to my mother, for her wonderful meals she makes every time I\u2019m home. And for my father, who makes the best tacos in the world. I love you two! You\u2019re amazing and I appreciate you abundantly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
