FC: To my wonderful Mom and Dad...
1: When I was a little girl, there were many things that I didn't quite understand. And lets be honest, I am definitely still working on that. But mostly, as a child I had no idea of the things that a parent could do for me.
2: The world was a play place. And thanks to you, Mom and Dad, I had the most amazing time playing in it.
3: There were so many things that I had yet to learn....
4: Things that I could have never learned without your help; The little experiences that it was easy to take for granted. | Like how to put on make-up, how to play putt-putt, roller skate.
5: And as I continued to get older, the more I learned from you... | I learned to love my apple juice, and eventually to wipe my mouth... | I learned to love reading and staying up late reading to my little brother... | I learned the importance of school work, because you took time out of your busy days to help me with it. Even when it was the last thing i wanted to do...
6: I learned the warmth of an absolutely amazing family...
9: To this day I look forward to Christmas Eve and getting our matching Christmas pajamas. I love the house all decorated and our million trees. And how dad dresses up like Santa. I have learned the joy of Christmas.
11: You taught me how to love...
12: You allowed me to travel and explore the wonderful world around me that I learned to love..
14: I learned to dance...
16: And as we all know....
17: I definitely learned how to have fun...
18: I learned to appreciate my accomplishments...
20: I became the girl I am today.
21: Because you taught me that it is okay to be myself. | Even if I am a complete and total goof ball...
22: Mom, Even though sometimes I look at myself and say, " Oh God I am becoming my mother." Why wouldn't I want to be the strongest, most beautiful woman in the world?
23: And daddy, even though I have been trying to grow up since I could walk, I will always be your little girl.
24: What I am trying to say here is... thank you. There are so many things that have happened in my life that I have no one else that I could possibly thank for. I would be no where without you guys. You gave me the most beautiful childhood, taught me the greatest lessons, and stood by my side in all the hardest times. I appreciate and respect you more than you can possibly imagine. I am so blessed to have the most awesome parents in the world. I love you Mom and Dad.
25: Merry Christmas :)
