Thank you, Mom and Dad, for always believing in me. You have always been my biggest supporters, and I don't think I've thanked you enough for it. So, thank you. Since I was little, you both have always pushed me to do my best and told me that I can do whatever I want as long as I work at it. You've never given up on me even when I've been difficult, and I appreciate it.

Dad, thank you for being my best friend. Ever since I was a little, I've always been "Daddy's little girl." You and I are so alike that anyone can guess that I'm your daughter. You might not have realized this before, but our "father-daughter" day each August means the world to me. I look forward to that day every year because it's just a day for the two of us. Even when I'm older and in my late 20's, I'm going to make sure that we still have that day, because it's that special to me. I enjoy watching TV shows with you that make us both laugh our heads off and make Mom roll her eyes at us. I might frustrate you sometimes and you might frustrate me, but I always know that you will always be there whenever I need you.

Mom, thank you for always checking in on me. I can always count on a phone call or a text message from you, and I appreciate every single one. I know I haven't told you this before, but I do look forward to the days that you and I go scrap-booking, because it's something that I can do with you that I can't do with Dad or anyone else. It's truly something special for just you and I. Like a lot of moms and daughters, we may disagree a lot, but that's what makes us, us. I know that I don't tell you that I love you enough and I'm sorry. I love you, and I hope you don't think otherwise.

You both supported me in my decision of college and major. Despite my major being unique, you both never questioned it, especially when I decided to double major. I'm the way I am today because of the way that you raised me and influenced me throughout my life. Thank you for that. You both came to every school event that you could, and it meant the world to me to know that you were there. I can honestly say that I have two wonderful parents. You always have my back, and I know that I can come to you with anything.

So thank you, Mom and Dad, for everything you do and know that I appreciate every part of it. I love you both.
