A letter to my parents

Dear Mom and Dad,
Thank you for feeding me, even when i was stubborn and wouldn't eat my vegetables. You changed my diapers, a special thank you for that. You put money under my pillow when my teeth fell out. Dad, you would make up stories to read me at night, so i could sleep peacefully at night. Mom, you always tied my shoes so I wouldn't fall down, you even taught me, so I could do it myself. I got to go to school for over 14 years, all of which you paid for. Also, you paid for my swimming lessons, oh and my guitar lessons , all of the clothing that I own too. I must have costed you a fortune.... yet, i threw tantrums when i didn't get exactly what i wanted. I'd be embarrassed to have you be around when i was with my friends.... you would ask me to take out the garbage or to clean my room, and i would 
throw a fit.... when i didn't do well in school, there was never a complaint from you. You drove me everywhere. There was always food at home, i never went hungry. Remember when I really wanted to get glasses, and you got me them even though you knew that i didn't really need them. When I drew on the walls, you didn't scold me. I was always able to play with my friends. You were always there when I needed help with my homework


If I were to list everything it would take a lifetime. 
I couldn't ask for more. 


Mom, Dad, I owe you everything. Anything and everything I am and own, is due to you. There is never enough thanks that could be said...


From this day on, I vow to be a better son.
