My mother (Mama) and father (Baba) are the most wonderful, loving, supportive, and perfect parents a child could ever ask for. They are just awesome. Besides having been the most fun and crazy parents ever, my parents by example have shown me what it takes to uphold the true meaning (sacrament) of marriage. They are the perfect example of true love. Through their teachings and actions, they've guided me and taught me more than anyone ever could, and they've loved me and encouraged me to be everything I've ever wanted to be. Even though I have fallen down, messed up, and screwed myself over a number of times, their love has shone unconditionally from day one. If my future marriage and family resembles what my parents have shown me, I will know that I am on the right path.
