30 Day Letter Challenge 2012 - Emily

Day 3 - Your Parents

Day 3 - Your Parents

Dear Mum and Dad,

I can’t say how much I love you both and will never be able to thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me. I’m going to keep these letters short because I can’t list everything I love about you both and how much you mean to me!

Mum,

You have been there for me all my life through every single step and milestone. I can trust you with anything and I tell you absolutely everything. You know all of my secrets and I would be so lost without you.

You are so strong and I admire you for that. I hope that someday I will be half as courageous and beautiful inside and out as you are.

You are one of my best friends. You give me the best advice and have helped me solve many things. I know that I joke that sometimes you sound like a fortune cookie, but everything you say helps me get through hard times.

I have no idea what I would do without you Mum!

Love you so much,

Em xxxxxxxx

Dad,

I have always been a daddy’s girl even with you not being home much. Ever since I was born you’ve been away a lot, and that’s expected being a pilot. But I miss you so much, it’s really hard.

I know that even though you live in a different country to me, that you’ll always be here for me. I talk to you every single day and treasure every moment I spend with you.

I am so grateful for how much effort you put into our visits and to get down to see us, even if it’s just for a weekend. We always have the best time!

We have quite similar personalities, so of course we clash. We have had lots of fights and the last year has been a bit rough for us, but we managed to get through it, making our relationship even stronger than before.

It is so much fun to embarrass you, but not so much when you do it to me!

I love you so much to your comforting bear hugs to your stupid dad jokes that make me cringe but laugh as well (What’s brown and sticky? A stick!)

I love you so much Dad, and I can’t wait to see you in a few weeks! You're the best and I don't know what I would do without you.

Love you so much,

Em xxxxxxxx
