Forever grateful for you.

A Thank You Letter To My Parents
Darcy Pacheco

Dear Mom & Dad,

Words cannot describe how appreciative I am to the both of you. I know that it may not be a sentiment that I often express, but I truly am. I would be lost without your guidance. You have been there for me whenever I have needed it and you continue to endlessly support me through my endeavors. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, I know I can always count on you.

Not everyone is as fortunate to have parents who are as incredible as you. Every day I consider it a blessing to have such loving parents who do nothing but sacrifice on my behalf for my own happiness.

You always put me ahead of your own needs, and I can't even keep track of the number of sacrifices you've made for me. I know that you always wanted to give me a life that was better than the ones you had growing up and, trust me, you have far surpassed that. Just know that none of the sacrifices you've made have gone unnoticed and I am forever grateful for all that you do.

The morals and values you have instilled in me from such a young age have shaped the person I have become today. I can say that I am a strong, confident, and independent woman and I owe it all to you. You have taught me the importance of being myself and always remembering where I come from, which is something I will never lose sight of.

Thank you so, so, so much for giving me the absolute world. I will never be able to repay you. You are two of the most important people in my life and I hope I make you proud to be your daughter.

Love,

Your Grateful Daughter

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
