Dear Forever Loves of My Life,
I'm already sixteen and sixteen years of your life has passed trying to raise me to be the kid you expected. I think that I can say that I would never be able to turn out as the exact version of what you dreamed of but I'll do my best to fulfill your dreams of raising a good, filial daughter.
I know that sometimes, I'm not the best daughter you can get and I might curse and throw tantrums but I just want you to know that I'll always love you. Despite what I've done. Despite all the things I've said. Despites the arguments that we get into. Despite Daddy always being a huge pain in the behind. Despite Mommy always wanting me to be some other person that the one that I am. You'll always be the ones that I turn to in times of desperation.
Despite all the hatred that I would have given you, I opened my heart and accepted all the lecturing, yelling, death glares, tantrums that you gave me. To turn me into a better person. Sometimes, it might seem as though you are right but those times, I have to be the one to make the choice and nothing you say would make me change my mind.
We might make good choices and bad choices. Choices we might regret making and choices that we regret we didn't take. A part of life we have to accept. We choose our own fate. We make our own destiny. You have done all that you can do for me and you will continue to do so throughout the rest of your life.
You have taught me to be strong. Taught me to look before I leap. Taught me to steel my heart against those who wish to do battle with it. Taught me to be well-mannered and polite. Taught me to put on a brave face when the heart hurts. Taught me to look forward and never glance behind. The list again, would stretch.
I'm only sixteen with a bright future ahead but I still will forever need the guidance of my parents in adulthood and old age. I love you, Mommy. I love you, Daddy.
Love,
Shern Lyn Khuan
