Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary on the Hill

 “I never thank you enough for listening to me.
I never thank you enough for protecting me from the things 

I shouldn’t do.
I never thank you enough for guiding me in the right direction.
I never thank you enough for putting up with my mood swings and arrogance.
I never thank you enough for being there for me without  

a doubt.
I never tell you enough how much I love you, mom, dad.
You mean the world to me, but I don’t tell you enough.
No matter what, I always will love you, mom, dad, no matter how much we argue, or how much I upset you, 

I’ll love you till the day I die.”
