Mom & Dad,
As a sophomore in college you would think that I would be dying to spread my wings and finally become independent, eagerly starting a life on my own and diving into the real world. However, as a kid at heart, I don’t think I’ll ever be ready to leave your nest, even though one day I know I’ll have to.
The “Parent Lottery” really does exist, and I won it hands down. You both have done everything you possibly could to give our family this beautiful life and I hope one day I can do the same for my own. Whether it was cheering and shouting at every softball game or even just cuddling up for cozy movie nights by the fireplace, I couldn’t be luckier for everything you have done for me.
So thank you, thank you, thank you. For everything you do, everything you’ve done, and everything you will do for me in the future. Thanks for tucking me in every night after bed time stories, being Santa Clause for ten years, and showering me with more love and support than I could have ever imagined. Dad, thanks in advance for walking me down the aisle on my wedding day and protecting my little girl someday the same way you have protected me. Mom, thanks in advance for teaching me your secret recipes and for being my best friend forever. Time may fly by but I’ll always be thankful for the life you have given me. And no matter what, I will always be your little girl. That’s a promise I’ll never break.
To mom and dad, thank you for everything. I love you both more than you’ll ever know.
With love forever and always,
Your little girl
