My Mum and I had some rough times when I was a pubescent teenager, but after that, we became pretty good friends. The best in fact. I was a lot closer to my Dad when I was a teenager in a lot of ways, but I think that's a special time for most people as they grow. If I had lost either of my parents during that time I think I'd be one very fucked up individual (if in fact I am not already), but I really feel I've had the chance to thank my parents for the job they did with me, and to try and tell them and show them how much I appreciate the sacrifices they made.

They weren't perfect as parents, and nor am I, but I think they gave me a pretty good drafting board to work from as I go through the process of being a parent myself.

I love you Mum and Dad. Always have, always will. No matter what.
