Parent Letters

May 16, 2005 08:10

Hey there. So yeah, Graduation is only 18 days away. As a part of Graduation we have to do parent letters. I have written both of them a letter, but only my fathers I really think was sincere. Here it is.
Dear Dad, The time has come for me to finally walk across the stage to accept my diploma. I am finally becoming an adult; I am finally becoming a woman. I bet it seems like yesterday that I was a little girl fighting with Stephen on who had to clean the bedroom we shared. But years have passed and the time has come for me to move onto college. I have been through many things in my life, a lot of which you may never be aware of. I was able to make the right decisions and to overcome my obstacles because I always knew that you were there to support me.
I know lately we have been butting heads, and that you have been concerned about me. Just know that I am fine and I will be fine. I am capable of being successful and making something great out of myself because you have always showed me the right from wrong. Sometimes you make me mad because I can’t do what I want when I want to, but I know that it is always in my best interest. I know that you are afraid that I might not make it, or that I may end up like Stephen or Jen but I know what I am capable of and I know what my talents are. I promise you that I will do the best that I can. I will become a beautiful and successful woman because of you. You have worked two jobs throughout my high school career, working hard everyday of your life just to make sure that I had clothes, food, and lunch money. You always put me first making sure that I had new sneakers for school even if you needed them more than I did. You always tried to make sure that I was happy.
You have taught me many lessons. Some you wanted me to learn, many you probably had no I idea that I was even aware of. Most of these lessons I will take with me to better myself, most of which I will teach my own children later, LATER on in life. You have taught that the only way to get great things out of life is to work my butt off to achieve them. If I want something, I have to go out and get it. Nothing good will come to a person that waits. For that I want to thank you.
Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. Thank you for being strict with me, thank you for making sure that I was doing the best that I could do in everything that I was doing. Thank you for all the sacrifices that you have made since day one. Thank you for never leaving me without a father, leaving me without a parent. Thank you for influencing me more than anyone ever has and ever will. Thank you for being the best parent that I could have ever asked for. Thank you for showing me the way. The time is now here for me to go out on my own and make my own decisions on what goes on in my life. It’s my time to shine dad. I have said it many times before, but incase you forget, you are the reason why I believe in God. If there wasn’t a God, how could I have a guardian angel as a father? I love you daddy. And I don’t know where I would be without you.
Love always,
Julia
Isn't a tear jerker? *sigh* I have to redue my mothers. Ugh. Well, till agian.
PS I made up the quote: "you are the reason why I believe in God. If there wasn’t a God, how could I have a guardian angel as a father?" Isn't it cute?
