Letter of Appreciation to Parents (01)

Mom & Dad,

こんにちわ. You may be reading this a week after I typed this, but you may not even be able to read this as well. Well.. I'd be planning to send this letter to you when I'm going.

There are a lot of things I want to tell you. But being me, I'd never be able to let these things out. Never able to express my feelings, and my actions were all due to my wants. When I looked back at it, I had never expressed my thanks to you guys.

Have I ever told you guys what I felt? I might still be in my rebellious stage, but I've passed the worst time, right? When I was in form 2 and 3, I really hated being near you guys, but now, I don't mind. I was thinking, 'if they were gone one day..', and it made me really upset.

Even though our time together, we may not share much words. We may not have same interest, Mum with her planets, Dad with his golf, and me with my gaming&JE addiction. But I have learnt a lot from you guys.

Thank you for that.

When I was young, I was a pain, ne? I want this, I want that, I hate this, I hate that. A spoilt brat. I realised that already.

You'd always comforted me at spots where I got hurt, and helped me up. You taught me what was wrong and what was right. You gave me reasoning for stuff.

Up till now, I've always thought, 'I wished I had a better childhood,' or how my life had always been lonely. Now when I thought of it, what did I usually do at home when I was a child. After moving here, I really don't remember. I never had a computer when we were living in Belait.

It was only recent, right? When I told Mum about my thoughts, 'When you guys are at work, I feel lonely,' those were my words. I don't know, but did you shed some tears over that? I was able to say that after having to say, 'I don't care if you guys are here or not,' during form 2 and 3. I had the idea of having to get used to being alone at home. But the idea of really being away from you guys, and not knowing how well you're doing really worries me.

Also, I realised why you two were working so hard at start, not to even have a honeymoon at start of your marriage. You wanted us to have a better life in the future, right?

Up till now, I have been a brat, and I may not turn out how you wanted me to be. But this is me. I may not be a good child to you, and I may have said a lot of words that may have hurt. My foolish and selfish actions were not result from your upbringing. And maybe, I have not expressed my feelings well enough or at all.

'I Love You' is a hard phrase for me to say. Embarrassing, but true from my heart. I may shrug your words off, or shrug you off, but I have taken it into my mind.

I have stuff I want to tell, but let me tell you this first.



I'm glad to be born into this world.



..Thank You For Giving Birth to Me.

Thank You For Raising Me.

Thank You For Teaching Me.

Thank You For Being My Parents.

...No matter what I say or do..

I Do and Will Love You Forever..




My Dearest Parents; Mum & Dad.
