MY MOM AND DAD ARE THE GREATEST

I just want to let everyone know this. I know that I give shout-outs to people who send me packages and letters and how much I appreciate them. But I never mention all of the letters and essentials that my parents send me (ok, granted it's mostly my mom...). They have sent me SOO many things that I have requested and many things that I haven't. I even make crazy requests like to cut out articles from the Daily Mess(anger) that they think I would like so that I can keep up with Canandaigua/Upstate NY news. My mom was the first one to send me aerogrammes when I was in training and it was SO nice to hear from someone back home. Aside from sending me things, they dutifully call me at least once a week so I can complain to someone about things I find ridiculous here and just share some of my experiences with someone who can relate to me, aka a non-Ugandan. Anyways, not to go on too much, I just wanted to write a short note on how great my parents are and how it's a shame that I never truly realized this until I moved to a 3rd world country across the world.
