"Mom, Dad, can we talk?" Mark sat at the kitchen table, the results printed in front of him. His stomach churned, but a different emotion, one he had never felt before, bubbled up. He recalled the countless hours his parents had spent helping him, supporting him. He remembered the love, the unwavering belief in him. He wanted to tell them how much he appreciated it all. After the initial shock of the news, his parents hugged him tightly. Mark spent the next week helping them around the house, running errands, mowing the lawn – anything he could do. His actions were a silent symphony of appreciation.
