My parents
1. I never had the chance to say goodbye to either of you, and I regret not having the time to grieve properly. I also wish I could have expressed my gratitude for the way you raised me into the person I am today. I want you to know that I miss you both every single day. There are moments when I feel overwhelmed and struggle to get back on my feet, but I draw strength from the lessons you taught me during your time here. Your guidance instilled in me the determination to keep moving forward. I am grateful for the life lessons you imparted and for always steering me in the right direction, ensuring I understood my mistakes and how to rectify them. Thank you for your unwavering love and support throughout my life, and for demonstrating what true devotion looks like. Your relationship showed me the essence of a genuine marriage, with both of you always standing by each other. I find myself shedding tears because I can no longer see your faces or speak with you. I wish I had saved more voicemails; while I have pictures, hearing your voices would mean the world to me. I pray every night that you can hear me and know how much I miss and love you both for being such an integral part of my life. I hope you are proud of my accomplishments, and if I have ever disappointed you, I sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive me. My goal in life was to make you proud, and now that you are no longer with me, I continue to fight to honor your memory. I love you both deeply and am thankful for the life you gave me, for your love, your teachings, and for always being my steadfast supporters. Thank you for being my mother and father.
