Thanks Mum, Thanks Dad. #UVA day2

Second Task is to show Appreciation to my parents or guardian
Appreciation letter to my Mum and Dad
Dear Mum n Dad,
Being 18 in Nigeria is technically the age of an adult, one who is responsible for his/her actions. So at this point in my life, I’m considered an adult. Yes, maybe sometimes I don’t completely act like it, but that’s part of life, right? As I’m growing up, I realize just how much you did for me. And, for that, I need to truly thank you – something I don’t think I’ve appropriately done to date.
Dad, thank you for getting mad at me when my report card didn’t have high enough grades. For making me realize that I can put more time into my work and improve my performance.
Dad, thank you for being so strict with your rules that I missed out on some moments that could have led me down the wrong path. For standing your ground when I begged to go somewhere or do something that, in hindsight, could have introduced me to things that would jeopardize my future forever.
Dad, thank you for caring a lot about me and not giving up of me. Thank you for spending hours to teach me *how to write well and read without being told* after a rough day at the office.
Mom, I know have being a stubborn girl always trying to pick a fight with my siblings but thank you for believing in me, snapping at me to come back to my senses. Thanks for all the clothes, shoes, bags and many other things you've got me. In-fact thank you for giving birth to me.
Mom, thank you for making me realize that I’m worth everything in this world. That I must be treated like a queen, and that I should never settle for less than what I deserve.
Mom, thank you for being you. For always being there for me, listening to all my blabbing. Thanks for being a Friend that i could always trust and be open to.
To both of you, Thank you for investing so much in raising me and for your teachings. I love you.
Mom and Dad, thank you for showing me true love in its rarest form, what it feels like, and how it can extend beyond life’s obstacles and challenges. Without each of you, I’d be nowhere near the person I am – and the person I’m still working on becoming. There aren’t enough words in the world to express my appreciation, but I think this is a good start. I owe you one.
Sincerely,
Your Daughter Hannah
