I remember once, I even told my parents that I hated them. I didn't mean it but I was angry and it made me feel better, to kick them while they were down. But that's the thing about growing up, you realise that what you did hurt them far more than they let you see. And now that I go back and remember those things I did I start to see how much they really hurt. My parents have done so much to protect me and now that I am on my own, living away from them I am really beginning to appreciate all the things they have taught me, like stranger danger and all the small things that have taught me how to take care of myself. And I haven't said this to you yet and I can't think of a better way to say it than on a public page, where all my friends and the whole world can see. Thank you so much all the lessons you have taught me, for taking care of me even when I didn't care about myself anymore, for getting me the help I needed with my psychologist sessions even when I didn't think I needed, and for supporting me and helping me while I was being treated for my depression even though I probably scared the life out of you more than once. Without that help, I know for sure that I wouldn't be here to tell you this.
So it's time for all of us to say thank you to our parents. And if you don't know how to say it to them just show them this. Thank you to all the parents out there, for giving us life lessons even when we have you hell. We will always be your little boy or your little girl and we love you with all our hearts, even if we don't say it as often as we should.
