Dear Parents,

There is no measurable amount to account for how much love I hold in my heart for you. How does one convey how much love I have for these two individuals? These are the people who have sacrificed everything for me, who have taught me so much, and have loved me unconditionally for all of my life. How can you repay someone for that? How can you tell them how much they mean to you?

My parents have been through a lot, and I mean a lot. 25 years is a long time to be committed to one person and they prove to me every day that love is alive and what it means to love someone with all of your heart. My parents are the reason I want to get married, and I want someone in my life who looks at me the same way I see my dad looking at my mom. They have managed to raise both me and my brother, even though I know they’ve wanted to strangle us at times. They have been with each other in sickness and in health. When my dad was diagnosed with cancer, my mom stayed by his side the whole way through.

My parents have taught me a lot, and have helped shape me into the person I am today. Not only have they done that, but they accept me when I fail, and need their support yet again. The best part about having parents is that they love you no matter what. Even when you mess up big time, or need $20 to buy groceries, or you’re having a hard time in school, or you just need someone to cry to, they will be there for you no matter what.

Through your 25 years of marriage, you have done so much for me and I can never repay you for that. But the one thing I can do, is tell you that I love you, with all of my heart. You both mean the world to me and I could not have done any of the things I have done without you. The greatest gift I have ever received is getting you two as my parents. I love you so much and I hope you have an amazing anniversary and so many more to come.

Love,

Your Daughter
