My parents are two of the best people I have ever come in contact with. My parents chose to give a child a home, food, support, and love on a daily basis. They were selfless when they didn't have to be, and they continue to put me first every single day.
My parents chose multiple sporting events and longs nights when I am sick. They chose to deal with heartbreaks, and a house full of hungry teenagers. My parents chose nights on the deck with their kids and our friends, instead of going out themselves. They chose to deal with open houses, and the college process. They chose me.
My parents chose to support me, and to tell me when my decisions are not my best. They give advice but also look at my choices through my perspective, remembering what it was like to be in my shoes. My parents try to understand my point of view, and they will never know how much I appreciate that.
My parents didn't have to choose me. They saw the potential in me and loved me before I knew how to love myself. My parents took on a challenge, an expense, and a broken-hearted child. They never doubted my strength, and have always been there when I need them.
I am thankful for all that my parents do for me, and what they will do in the future. There is never a day where I feel like I am not loved or valued. My parents didn't have to choose me, but I am forever thankful that they did.
I love you both, Your Heart Child.
