Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for all that you do for me. I mean it, you are the best parents a girl can ever ask for. If I haven’t said it enough, thank you.

Thank you for holding my hand when I was scared.

Thank you for sleeping in the small twin sized bed with me when I scared of the monsters in the closet.

Thank you for being the first shoulder I learned to cry and lean on.

Thank you for nursing me back to health.

Thank you for sharing your faith and values with me.

Thank you for letting me be myself and not judging me for it.

Thank you for laughing with me through the good and the bad times.

Thank you for teaching me how to drive.

Thank you for reminding me to "smell the roses" and to "focus".

Thank you for being my number one cheerleader.

This list can go on and on, but I just really wanted to say thank you. I am so thankful to have you as my parents, even when we have our differences, I continue to be thankful.

So if you aren’t bored of hearing it yet, thank you from the bottom of my butt. (because the butt is bigger than the heart).

Love,

Your college student.

P.S. please send food…
