Let me first start by saying this could be the hardest thing I have ever written, let me follow up by saying it was one of the most insightful as well.
Mom and Dad,
Making you proud is my main priority in life, and I sincerely hope I have done so. I love you guys and I am so thankful to call you both my parents. The road that has lead me to say that has not been easy but, I can honestly say that you both are apart of me, and for that I am so lucky.
Mom,
You have raised me to be the woman I am today, thank you. We do not always see eye to eye, and while my personality is much more like my dad's you are the one who instilled the many values I have in me. You are such an amazing woman and, I can only strive to live a life of your caliber. Watching you run a marathon only shows me the beginnings of the endless opportunities I have in this world and, one day I will run that marathon and when I cross the finish line you will be the face I'm looking for. I hope that you know I am so grateful for your endless sacrifices, paying for my bachelors degree has been the most amazing yet thank you.
Dad,
It's been a tough run for sure. I am so much like you it's almost uncanny. I am so happy to have inherited your personality, the extroverted attitude and loving gratuity that I am always commended for is what makes me, me. While many of the decisions you made in life, has made my life much harder, they have also made me stronger. Thank you for fixing us and, showing me you are different. You are such an important part of me, you will forever be my dad enough said.
To the both of you,
My sexuality is something I have struggled telling you for over a year now and while I want to tell you, disappointing you is so much scarier. Please know I never go a day with trying to talk about it and one day when I am ready you are going to meet my girlfriend I only hope you can accept me for me and love the person I have become.
I love you both unconditionally,
Meg
