Dear Mom and Dad,

​

In this lifetime we don't get to choose our parents. God blessed me with two of the greatest parents that ever walked the earth. Anyone can have a child and call themselves "parents" but real parents put their children above their own needs and wants. I thank my parents for raising me in a loving household and loving me unconditionally. I thank my parents for always being my biggest supporters, my teacher, my therapist, my best friend. Being a parent doesn't come with a manual but you learned, you took the time to love, learn and provide and for that I can never repay you. You have taught me so much and college has taught me how much you can actually miss your parents... (WOW! I know right) I remember growing up and always thinking "I can't wait to move out and grow up," I got a taste of reality and well let's just say I wouldn't mind being little again. I thank my Mom for showing me how to be a woman of God, how to love and carry myself as a lady. How to be independent and dream big. I thank my father for being my first love, being my hero and having all the answers to my questions. Treating me like nothing less than a princess and giving the best advice. If I don't say it enough I love you and I thank you for being my parents.

Sincerely, 

The greatest child you ever had because none of your other children are as wonderful as me.
