Dear Mom and Dad,
There are countless things that I could be thankful for but I'm mostly grateful for having you. As humans, it is normal for us to take things for granted. People are always taking what they have for granted whether it is an item or the people that they love because we don't always think about how what our lives would be without one another. But as time goes, I can't help to think about how lucky I am to have you guys.
Being that I was born as an only child, you two are the only people that I have... And I thank God every single day for giving me another day with you guys. I must say that my love for you two is so strong, that I could never understand how people take their parents for granted because there are so many people out there who lost their parents and I couldn't even imagine the pain that they go through.
No matter what I do, you two are always there to love me and support me. Whether I'm doing good or bad, when I'm going on my crazy diets for my pageants (which forces you guys to eat what I eat sometimes), when I drag you along to all of my photo sessions and pageant shopping, and even when I decided to create my own cosmetic line... you guys are always there and that means the world to me.
Dad, you've always been the rock of our family since I was born. Mommy and I have never needed for anything because you have worked countless days and hours to make sure that we have everything that we needed and I couldn't be more grateful for all of the hard work that you do for me and our little family.
Mommy, you are the most loving, caring, intelligent, and strong woman that I know and it is because of you that I have grown into the young woman that I am today. You've sacrificed so much to make sure that I go to school and get my degree. I know that it is something that you always wish that you could've done but did not have the opportunity to do... and you're the reason why I want to be so successful because I want to be everything that you wanted to be and more.
To the both of you, I've never needed for anything in this world because you've given me everything that I've needed and more. I love how you guys are always thinking about me when you're away from me and constantly calling me to see what I'm up to and how my day is... When you're busy and don't call me, I get sad and call you like 10 times (sorry but I love you).
I'm happy to call you guys my best friends and my number one supporters because nobody will love me unconditionally like you have. Thank you for everything you've done for me and I'm sorry for being a little messy sometimes but I promise that I'll try to work on that... someday hahaha.
Love always,
Amanda
