Dear mom and dad,

I want to let you know how much I love you through this letter. I know I never thank you enough for the things you have done for me but I am really lucky to have you as my parents. The love, support, encouragement and appreciation that you always shower to me is rare. You make me believe I am special and that is the reason that restores my faith in myself.

You have put my comforts ahead of yours every single time. You have fulfilled my dreams at the cost of giving up on yours. The sacrifices that you have made for my future are the outcomes of why I am doing so good in my present. You are the sole reason behind every progress I make, every step I take, every award I win, every praise I receive. Thank you for never giving up on me even though I gave up on myself; thank you for reminding me that I am unique; thank you for loving me every single day.

I am sorry that I don't appreciate you enough. The appreciation you deserve equals your love for me. And though I don't speak with you every day, I want you to know that I dream of you every single night. Being in the other side of the world, far from you, has only made my love and respect for you grow stronger. The constant attention and care you provide, although reaches me through calls and messages, makes me feel confident and optimistic. You are the source of my inspiration. And you are the flame that ignites the light in my life.

I cannot describe the pride I feel when someone recognizes me as your daughter. I promise you dad and mom, one day you will feel proud when someone recognizes you as my parents. Thank you for everything you have been through to make my life better. I love you a lot.

Your daughter,

Shraddha
