Dear Dad and Mom,
The time has come—I'm graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you used to say, "You can be whatever you want. "I'm so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear other kids say they don't get on well with theirs. I'm glad that you support me when I decide to do anything. You always try to help, and that's important to me.
Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I never caught anything. I also remember when you would get angry with me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way. When I cried, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That's what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don't agree with me, but you are there on my side in anything that I do, and that's why I love you both so much.
Mom, I enjoy going out with you and having your happy time every Friday night, and I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything and the best part of you is that you listen. I'm glad that we have a lot of fun together. You always give me your opinion and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.
There may be many frustrations（挫折） and setbacks on the road to the future, but the thought of your support and help fills my heart with strength. Dear Mom and Dad, I love you and I love our family. I hope and believe that we will be happy all the time.
Love always, Alison
