To My Dearest Second Family,

First off, I would like to thank you for giving birth to one of the most amazing people walking on this earth. This person also happens to be one of the most important people in my life, who brought so much positive energy and happiness in my life. You both raised my best friend to be a strong, independent person who has a mind-driven goal in the things he/she wants in his/her life. He/She has become the person that inspires me to continue to do better and push myself to beyond my abilities.

Second, thank you for not only being my best friend's parents, but also mine. You've given me another home to go to. It never feels like I'm out of place whenever I'm with you guys because you treat me like your own, whether it is feeding me the delicious foods or taking me out with you guys. Thank you for those welcoming hugs you guys give me whenever you see me and asking how I am every time that I visit. Thank you for being there for me when I was not comfortable or too scared to talk to my own parents about something that I did. Thank you for reminding me that at the end of the day, my own parents love me no matter what I do. Thank you for reminding me that it is OK to screw up in my teenage years and still be OK and accepted for my mistakes. And thank you for being one of the people who accept me for who I am.

Words cannot describe how lucky I am to have you both.

Lastly, thank you for the support and love you guys give me when I need it the most, and of course, bringing my best friend into my life.
