Mom and Dad, I want to say something to you

Dad, Mom, I would like to say thank you to you first! To thank you for your upbringing, I also want to say thank you for your hard work, and to thank you for working hard for me.

Mom and Dad, you regard me as a pearl and hold me in your hands. You dare not hold me too hard for fear of crushing it; but you dare not hold it too loosely for fear of falling to the ground. In this way, I grew up healthily and happily under your care.

Dad, I want to say thank you! Because every time when I suffer setbacks, you encourage me and tell me that "failure is the mother of success." Don't be discouraged. If you continue to work hard, you will succeed one day. This sentence encouraged me, and this courage came to me.

Mom, similarly, I also want to say thank you! Because you have given me meticulous love - comfort me when I am sad; chat with me when I am bored...

Dad, I want to tell you that I understand! I understand that you usually educate me and criticize me in order to make me successful, just like a gardener who only keeps watering the flowers can the seeds grow up slowly and turn into beautiful flowers.

Mom, I also want to tell you that I understand! I know you taught me how to be a good person, for no other reason than to make me a good person, just like the red candle just wants to illuminate the starting point of others, it’s that simple.

Dad, I want to say sorry to you! Because I am usually stubborn, disobedient, and playful, I have made you worry a lot. However, I will change my mind if I learn from it.

Mom, I really want to say sorry to you! Because I sometimes misunderstand that you have worked hard, but now I am no longer that ignorant child. From now on, I will empathize with you and understand you.

Dad, I want to say don’t worry! Because I will not live up to your invisible "investment" in me, I will strive to achieve more firsts and keep rushing forward until forever.

Mom, I just want to say don’t worry! Because I will bravely face all difficulties and setbacks. Keep moving forward until you reach the invisible end.

Mom and Dad, although I will not always be the first, I know that I am your only one. Although you are ordinary, your love is unique and cannot be given to me by others. Although I sometimes don't understand you, I will try my best to control it.

Mom and Dad, don’t be conceited when you succeed. If you can do it, others can do it. Don’t be discouraged when you fail. Everyone is unique. It has always been buried in my heart. Your love will always be with me. I'll go with you.
