Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for always being there for me when I need you. Without either of you I don't know where I would be. You're always there for me when I need you. And you're always willing to do anything for me if it is within your power. You both are always there to cheer me up when I'm down. Thank you for supporting me and encouraging me to follow my dreams. And thank you for doing everything in your power to make sure I am able to chase after my dreams to make them a reality. Thank you for calling or texting me just because you want to talk and tell me how much you love me and how proud you are of me for trying to make my dreams a reality. I may not say it but those simple words mean so much to me and I truly cherish every phone call and text you send me.

Thanks for sending me care packages while I'm away in college just because you miss me since I'm so far away. And writing me letter filled with your love because your not able to hug or see me everyday like when I lived at home.

Thank you for telling me you love me every chance you get just to show me how much you love me. Thank you for posting on any and every type of social media that you could about how proud you are of me for chasing my dreams. So you can let anyone and everyone know how much I'm growing up. Thank you for doing everything that you can to make sure that I have a better life. Thank you for all the life lesson that you taught me. Because without those life lessons I wouldn't be the person I am today. Without either of you I wouldn't be who I am today. Everything that I able to do in my life is because of you. Without you I wouldn't have the courage or the ambition to peruse and follow my dreams.

It was you that taught me that with hard work and determination that I can do anything I set my mind to. You are always there to pick me up and brush me off when I fall down. And when I'm sad you are always there to cheer me up by any means. If I ever need anything I can always ask you for help. Thank you for always being there for me even when I make you furious at me for no reason. Even when things look there darkest for me you will always be the light that guides from the darkness and set me back on my path. I can always count on you both to truly be there for me everyday no matter what time it is or how far away I am from you.

I know that I don't say it as much as I really should but I love you with all my heart and I don't know what I would do or where I would be without either of you in my life.

Sincerely,

Your child
