Mom and Dad.

Dear Mom and Dad,

There are a lot of things I feel like I could say when given the opportunity to write the two of you a letter collaboratively. I don't know how much of it I actually will say, because I am not sure all things are things the world needs to know. What I will say is thank you. Thank you for being awesome people together or apart. Thank you for doing the best you could with what you had- even if looking back it doesn't seem like that was the case. Thank you for always praying for me, even when I am sure it felt hopeless. Thank you for accepting the person I was and have become. I never ever ever question whether I was loved by either of you. This fact, above all things means the most. As a parent when I think about raising my own kids, all I care about is making sure that they KNOW that they KNOW that they KNOW that I love and accept them NO MATTER WHAT, and that God loves and accepts them NO MATTER WHAT. I feel like if I can accomplish that I have done my job as a parent. You guys accomplished that in me. Everyday I am reminded how blessed I am to have two loving, caring, thoughtful parents who even though they aren't together, love each other just as much as they love me. I am aware that this is SO rare, and I am beyond grateful. I love you both with my whole heart, always and forever, no matter what.

Love,
Brooksie
