I have wanted to tell you for a long time that I am very happy that I have caring parents like you that I can look up to and come and ask you things that I can’t ask other people. You guys listen to me, and you are always there for me. You guys put up with all the mistakes I have made in my life, and you have been with me in all of my good times. It means a lot to me to hear you say I Love You and helps me a lot when you also say "we care very much about you." I have had some hard times in my life ,and I could have never asked for better help than from you guys. We have had some good times on our vacations like the one when we went up to Minnesota; that was a fun one. I have a family that I love very much.

Mom you have taken a lot of care of me. Every day you wash my clothes, help me to learn to do things on my own. You give me good advice each and everyday, and if you know it or not, I do listen to your advice, even if it doesn’t look like it, and I always remember what you tell me. You also show me a lot of support and Good Luck before I head out to my games. That gives me a lot of strength to work harder and to do the best I can do ,and for that I want to thank you and to let you know how much I love you.

Dad you have been here for me in ever way you could possibly be. Every Sunday I would want someone to come up with me to Sioux Falls to watch my softball games, and you would be the one to come and cheer the team, and you don’t know how much I appreciate that. You would stay up every night and help me with homework, know matter how much I had or how long I was going to take. You would be right by my side helping me. Dad, all I want to say to you is thank you, and I love you very much!
