A heartfelt thank you

Daily writing prompt
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

This is such a difficult question to answer, as my family has undoubtedly done countless things to enrich my life.

Well, for starters, they had me. Then they did everything to ensure I had a good life, gave me good values, a good education and supported all my career decisions.
