Words that parents love hearing from you
4:02 PM
Dad,
Mom, Daddy, Mommy, Papa, Mama, Pa, Ma, Nay, Tay, Ina, Ama, etc... We've
got different "names" to call our parents yet it's a heartbeat for them
every time we say it.
Let's put ourselves in our parents' shoes. It's nice hearing the words "Thank you, Dad and Mom!" However, I think it's more heartwarming if we thank them more specifically. For example, after their long and tiring day, they deserve this phrase instead, "Thanks for our flavorful dinner, Dad/Mom! The best cooking in the world!" It may sound scripted for some, but nevertheless, our parents really love communicating with us. Even with the smallest things."Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us "life". Beyond this, they always made countless sacrifices as they cared and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood. They also provided us with the necessities of life and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up." -Ezra Taft Benson
This is my open letter for my parents and I am excited to acknowledge all the things that they've done for me.
Dear
Dad and Mom, thank you for giving me the chance to live and see this
wonderful world. Thank you because you fed, housed, and clothed me. I am
beyond grateful to be part of our family.
Dear
Dad and Mom, thank you for taking good care of me when I was younger.
Your touch made me feel better whenever I feel sick (headache,
stomachache, etc.) I believe in the saying that "The best medicine in the world is a mother's hug."
Dear
Dad and Mom, hearing your voice makes me feel comfortable and
everything seems safe. I can still remember your kisses that made me
fall asleep when I was a baby.
Dear
Dad, growing up I know that I'm getting hard-headed like every kid out
there but you kept your calmness and didn't hit us, not even once. You
managed to discipline us without your hands, your stern voice makes a
difference!
Dear
Mom, your strictness gave me a headache! (not so kidding, LOL) In spite
of that, you showed us that you are a tough mom even though I know
you're hurting at times.
Dear
Dad and Mom, thank you for giving me a chance to study and finished
college. We are not plentiful but both of you are generous enough to
help other people.
Dear
Dad and Mom, thank you because you didn't spoil us. You provided the
necessary things and didn't fall for "crazy child tantrums".
Dear
Dad and Mom, thank you for protecting us always. Thank you for
unfailingly being there when things go wrong. Thank you for comforting
us knowing that you needed comfort as well.
Dear
Dad and Mom, thank you for not giving up on us. Thank you for the
sacrifices that you made. Our family has its flaws too, that being said,
both of you kept strong and stayed together.
Dear Dad and Mom, I want to apologize for all the disappointments and pain that I've caused you. I am sorry if I didn't become the daughter that you wished me to be. Yet, you still chose to love me unconditionally.
Dear Dad and Mom, I am sorry if I'm too shy to express how much "I love you"... Deep down in my heart, I love the both of you very much. Without the inspiration, drive and support you gave me, I might not be the person I am today.

"Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old."
At
the end of the day, every word, facial expression, gesture, or action
on our part gives them some message. Let's realize what messages we are
sending.
Remember to Dream, Sparkle, and Shine!
