this means something to me...
Dear Dad and Mom,
Thank you for being there for me. I love you both very much.
-------------------------------------------------
To Dad,
Thank you for helping me with my "problems" as they arise. You know, it's not always easy for me with handling situations, considering I stayed in my room most of my life. And sometimes I need a little shove or talking to to keep me straight. You never have to apologize for every trying to tell me the right things to do. Even if you are "done your parenting", you can still have your own opinions and I'll almost always listen to you. You have done an awesome job. Thank you.
To Mom,
Thank you for everything you have ever taught me. Throughout my entire pre-college schooling you have been there for me. You have pushed me to do as much as I can do and I thank you for that. You have been there to catch me when I fell and do a lot for me. Without you, there is NO way I would be at college right now. I still wouldn't have written that admissions essay to Drexel. And my financial aid would not be taken care of. But most of all, you have been there. For all of that and more, I love you. Thank you.
---------------------
And most of all, you two have been there for me. From the happy times that we've had to the times when I thought my world was going to end, you have been there for me.
I remember when you both had to talk to me when I got suspended in high school. I thought my entire life was ruined and worst of all, I thought that I had let you both down. But you both reassured me that it wasn't the end of the world and I would make it through.
There are not many people out there who can look up to both of their parents and wish that they one day could be as amazing as both of them but I can. I truly can say that if I grow up to be half as good a parent as each of you are, that would be amazing. Because you truly are the best parents in the world.
Love,
Jesse
