I don't say it nearly enough, but thank you. Thank you for standing by my side throughout the hardships and being there for the good times, as well. I know I make it seem like what you do for me goes unnoticed but I promise that's not true. I am so grateful for every single thing you have ever done for me.

You always provided me with everything I needed and wanted. You blessed me with such an amazing childhood and life and I wouldn't trade any of it for anything in the world.

Thank you for pushing me to do my best in every situation I put myself in. Even if I don't get the desired grade on a test, you'll ask me if I tried my best and say that that's all that matters. This really helps my self-esteem because I don't want to disappoint you guys after everything you have blessed me with.

Although I don't always see it in the moment, I know every decision you make for me is only because you want what is absolutely best for me. I'm sorry for yelling at you when I don't understand why you're doing what you're doing or why you're yelling at me, I get it now.

You guys have been such a constant in my life. Some "friends" come and go but you guys are always there; you always have been. How nice is it that I have two best friends that I know will always be there for me? I'm so lucky to have such great parents whom I know I can go to for anything without fear of being judged or ridiculed. Not everyone my age can say they genuinely believe they have "cool" parents, but I can!

I know I'm not always the easiest kid to raise, but I'm trying my best. Please keep in mind that I'm still a teenager and I am going to make mistakes.

Through all of this, thank you for being the best parents a girl could ask for. No matter what, I promise nothing you do for me goes unnoticed. I notice it all but sometimes I'm just a stubborn 19-year-old and don't want to accept it and show my gratitude. I am forever grateful for everything you both have provided me with thus far in life.

I love you. Thank you for being my parents.
