Dear Mom and Dad,
The time is coming: I’m leaving high school, and I think you both for all your help during these 17 years. I still remember when you said, “You can be your own hero.” I’m so glad you are my parents, especially (尤其) when I hear some children say they don’t get on well with theirs. I’m glad that you support (支持) 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 never caught anything but I did love enjoy it. I also remember when you would get angry (发火) with me. I understand you were only trying to show me the right way. When I would cry, you would always be there to try to make me full of hope. That’s what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don’t agree with me, but you are there by 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 our happy time every Friday night. And I hope that never changes. I love telling you everything. The best part about you is that you listen. I’m glad we do a lot of things together. You love to have fun, and Dad does, too. You always give me your ideas and I listen. Thank you for bringing me up.
Love always,
Andy
