Dear Mom and Dad,

Where do I even begin? I cannot express how grateful I am for you two. You have provided me with so much throughout the years from my basic life needs to financial stability to love and support. It is crazy to think of how fast time has flown by us so far. I'm sure to you it feels like I was a baby just yesterday. Even for me, I feel as though yesterday I was playing with barbie dolls, and all of a sudden I now hold a summer job and work. I have learned so much from the both of you over these past twenty years. I could not feel more prepared to enter into adulthood after college. Although I feel prepared, I know life will throw curve balls my way, but you will always be there for me and to help. You have given me so much, but at the same time you've taught me to be grateful for what I have and am given, but to also work hard while maintaining a strong work ethic. I've learned how to push myself to be the best I can be. You have pushed me to become the person I am today. You two have set such great examples for me that you are the two individuals I look up to most. I hope one day I can be an amazing parent to my own kids (your grandkids) that you were to me. There is nothing I can ever do that is grand enough to show my love and gratitude towards you. I will always love you even as I continue to grow and start to form new chapters of my life, just as you two do. I love you both so very much.

Love,

Your Daughter
