Dear Mom and Dad,
Summer is going by quickly and before we know it the third week of August will be here and we will find ourselves once again packing up the car and heading to school. Although I am more than excited to be reunited with my friends, there are a few things you should know. While I strive to leave the house when ever I can, I will miss you guys. Ill miss you embarrassing me when we go food shopping, or asking me how work was the second I walk through the door. I may complain about you always asking me pointless questions, but deep down I appreciate it. While the fights that we have may cross the line sometimes, I hope you know I really do value them (they show you care, and I am lucky you do).
I know you may be a tad uneasy about me going back to school and even living in an apartment with five other girls, but please do not worry. While I may call you in need of help, I will be okay without it. I need these experiences in order to grow into a better adult. I know you may not realize it, but you have instilled a lot of good morals and values within me and I promise I will carry them with everything I do.
Please remember while I am away at school I will miss you both dearly. Dad- when I say you text me too much and I beg you to stop- please do not. I secretly am glad you still want me to tell you everything I am up to. Mom- you will always be my best friend, and even if this semester gets away from me and I am unable to call you everyday like last semester, please know I am thinking of you. I will be looking forward to meeting you guys for Sunday brunch and maybe a few lunch dates if our schedules ever allow it.
You have both worked so hard to give me everything I need to become a strong independent young lady and I can not thank you enough for that. I want to be able to one day repay you for everything you have done for me, although I think that will be very hard. I will try my best to make you both proud, and I hope you both can be at some point. (I know you will be, have you seen me?)
I guess I can admit that I will miss you crazy people and when I come home for Thanksgiving, I will value every moment of it. Freshman year helped me realize how quickly time goes by, and I do not want to over look any important moments. Until then, please remember you both played a huge role in who I am today, and I do appreciate you caring, but I am going to be busy. Sophomore year is coming quickly mom and dad I hope you guys are as excited as I am.
Love Always,
Your More Than Grateful Daughter
