To my parents,
I may have misbehaved. I argued back. I lied. I got angry. I was one of the children who hated having strict parents. I constantly complained to my friends about you. I wanted to get away. But, I didn't.
I stayed. I continued to follow your rules. I got angry at anyone else who got you angry or disapppointed. I accepted the lifestyle you had for me.
Because I stayed, I got good grades. I have a high school and college diploma. I stayed away from drugs. I followed my dreams.
Every accomplishment I achieve, I do it for you. I do it to give you the future you deserve.
I love you, mom and dad.
