Mom and Dad,

Words don’t even begin to describe how lucky I am to have parents like you. We have our typical arguments just like any other kid and their parents, but I can honestly say that you two are my favorite people in the world.

Without you guys I don’t know where I would be. You both have helped me through so much and pushed me to be the best that I can. Things have never been easy for the two of you but somehow, you guys have always been able to support me.

Growing up you both supported me in everything I ever did. Dancing, basketball, soccer, violin practice. Everything. Even when I wasn't so great at some of them. You both pushed me to do what I love no matter what. I grew up in one of the most loving homes and that was all thanks to the both of you. When I did poorly in school you both were never too hard on me. You always told me that as long as I was trying my hardest it was good enough for the two of you. With your positive outlook, it outweighed the negative I may have received from any schoolteachers or advisors which is exactly how I got to the point I’m at now.

While I’m here at school, I am constantly pestering you both with at least three phone calls/texts a day, whether it’s about my stress, whining about being sick, or just cause I miss you. Not to mention being so beyond broke here and you guys always coming to my rescue. Thank you for always telling me I can’t drop out, nursing me back to health from miles away, aiding me financially and always being there when I annoy the hell out of you both.

I am so grateful to have two parents who I can go to for anything and everything. I feel as though a lot of others aren’t as lucky as I am. That is why whenever we get into little arguments I try to remember how lucky I am and look past whatever the issue may be. I can’t do anything but constantly thank you both, for everything. I hope someday I can do as much for you two as you have for me. Love you both endlessly.

Love,

Your Brown-Eyed Girl
