 A Thank You Letter To
My Parents
Dear Mom and Dad,

There are not enough words to describe how thankful I am to the both of you. I know I
don't show how grateful I am enough, but I really am. You both have taught me so
much, and going away to college and being apart from you has made me realize how
much you both mean to me.

Thank you for your endless amounts of love, even when I probably don't deserve it.

Thank you for all your support, no matter what.

Thank you for listening to my elated and despairing stories.

Thank you for editing my papers (even though I'm old enough to do that on my own).

Thank you for making me laugh when I'm in sorrow.

Thank you for the meals, the birthday parties, and everything in between.

Thank you for all the advice, even when I don't take it. You guys are always right.

Thank you for the "I love you" texts. They truly make my day.

Thank you for making me so happy.

Thank you for working so, so, so hard to be able to send me to school. That means the
absolute world to me, and for that, I will never be able to repay you.

Thank you for giving me the life every child deserves, and being such wonderful parents.
When I have children, I want to be just like you.

Thank you for always being there for me. Without the two of you, I don't know where I
would be.

So, mom and dad... Thank you. For everything. I promise I will work hard to make
you proud.
