Dear Mom and Dad,

Sometimes it's easy for me to forget how important it is to honor and thank those who do the most. You are the strongest people in my life and without a doubt the wisest people I've ever come across. It's extremely difficult to remember a time when I didn't think I needed you in my life. From a young age you both were the only people who completely understood me to the point where I wouldn't have to say anything, and mom could already be figuring out how to solve the next issue at hand. Luckily, dad can read me like no other due to his patience and love for the person that I've grown to be. The compassion that you show me is priceless in the way that you always seek the best in me no matter how dark the situation may be. You've made my childhood the best that it could have ever been and as i get older, it's easier to realize how lucky I am to have been brought up by such remarkable people. College is a hard time for all of us and I am so grateful to have the support of both a mother and father for the next four years of my experience. Whenever I call you throughout my day there's always an answer and talking to my parents from thousands of miles away is the best way to start my week. I take you guys for granted so often and I do apologize for that because without you i'd be nothing. Thank you both so much for everything you do and how you continuously change my life for the better everyday.

Love,

your daughter
