day 24- A letter to your parents


Dear Mom and Dad,

                There are so many things that I you both have done for me and I am truly grateful.  You have helped me through so many things and if I could ever be even a little bit like you guys that would be amazing! 

                When I was younger I didn’t think much of how much you both really did for us and mostly me.  You both are so amazing!!  You both had to deal with the bad attitude that I pulled.  I was not the easiest child and I know that now looking back.  I fought with my siblings, didn’t listen to my parents, and am not sure that I even did that well in school.  I tried and it wasn’t the lack of support you guys gave me it was all attitude and feeling like I wasn’t good enough for either of you.  As I look back I realize that it was in my head most of it.  I wasn’t not good enough for both of you.  It was hard to be young and trying to be like everyone else in my family.  I felt like I was the only one that different and that my siblings were so much better than me.  Neither of you never treated us different but I still felt is.  Maybe it was all the things that I had to do that the others didn’t have to do, for example the reading class.  I know that both of you were only looking out for my best interest but it took until I had kids of my own for me to realize it. 
 
                I am so sorry if I have caused either of you any pain.  I know now how much you both care for me.  You both have inspired me to be a better daughter, mother, sister, wife and friend.  You both do so much for the family.  You guys have set a great example for me and my siblings.  You both care for us all so much and you guys help us to care for others.  You both have shown us to be kind towards others and to help where we can.  You guys raised me to be my best and do my best in everything that I do and I am striving for that.

                I am glad that you both are here still to enjoy being a grandmother and grandfather to my children.  You have both helped me in more ways than I can count with my children and I am seeing improvements with them from what I have learned from you guys and what I am trying to teach them.  I notice that I am trying to teach them the same things that you both have taught me.  I hope I am a good teacher like you guys were for me.  I just hope that my kids turn out better than me.  Thank you both for supporting me and helping with all the things that are crazy in my life. I am not trying to make your life any crazier than it already is, I hope you know that.

                You both mean so much to me!  I know I would not have been this way without either of you in my life.

Love You Always!
Andrea
