Before life gets too tough (I mean before I get overwhelmed with work for the week), I would like to write something to thank my parents. They probably wouldn't see it and I won't show it to them but i need to record this down so I that if I ever become ungrateful, I can read back and feel bad. Having the feels for being appreciative so here goes.
If you know me, I'm not one who's good with words and I certainly don't tell people directly how I feel about them. I feel awkward saying sorry or thank you to people but I try to compensate in actions. I haven't been the best daughter in years and I know I haven't been a good girl. Through all these years, my parents have shown me much tolerance and acceptance towards what I do and who I am, even though I know I have not been being up to their expectations.
Thank you for always being there for me, even when you said you wouldn't. Thank you for always looking out for me and worrying about me, even though you said you don't care. Thank you for listening to my every need and want, and going out of the way to get it for me. Thank you for trying to give the best to me, even if it means you both fight for a really long one. Thank you for taking good care of me all these years, even though I don't seem like I have a bright future you still encourage me and support me in all that I do.
I want to achieve something great, not because I want the glory or the fame, but because I want to make you happy and proud of me for once. I want you to be able to tell everyone with pride that I am your daughter.
And even though I told you I may not be able to achieve great things in life, you told me that you just want me to be happy. Maybe I seem like I'm taking you for granted, but believe me when I say, I think about you every day. Even if it was just for a brief moment, I still do.
Thank you for raising me to be who I am today, and I wish I could raise my children as well as you did.
