"I thank everyone that's here, that's been on my side so many years, decades. Oh, my gosh, literally decades. But it all started with my parents. And they deserve everything. So I'm really grateful for them." Thank you @serenawilliams for inspiring us with your insane talents and for showing us what it is to be the 🐐. Love the shout out she gave to her parents, because a family who is able and willing to do everything possible to hone the talents of their children deserves the ultimate gold medal. We’ve all seen it. Whether it’s driving your kid to a swim meet every weekend or relentlessly practicing tennis, the sacrifices parents make to enable their kids to shine are the ultimate character builder, pay dividends and last a lifetime.
