Day 24- A letter to your parents

Dear papa and mama,



Thank you mama for giving birth to me, for 9months you had to watch what you eat and what you do to make sure I enter the world safely and healthily. I can't even imagine carrying a few kg around my womb, like a bowling ball, for 9months but you did it so for that, I thank you.
Thank you papa and mama for raising me well (i guess? =p) in terms of morals, faith and discipline. Thank you Mama for my personality, which I think I've inherited certain traits from you. Thankyou papa for making me have some of your features in terms of appearance. Thank you papa for being so open when it comes to church, never giving me too much pressure despite being the pastor's kid and went to 3-4 churches hopping from Presbyterian to Methodist. Thank you to both for never giving me too much stress when it comes to studying since most stress comes from myself. Thank you both for fussing and worrying when I was out of country for more than a week before in Italy, I remember that because I realise you two will miss me very much if I'm not home. However my dear parents, it's only normal due to globalization, that we will travel a lot more. Especially thanks to you papa, I've inherit the love of traveling and just exploring new places. I hope that when I got for exchange in the future and stay there for 6months, both of you won't worry too much and hope that both of you won't insist on me calling every single day. Maybe once every 2-3 days? :) & i know its dangerous to be too wild, clubbing and drinking is obviously not exactly very good activities but sometimes I wish you believe in my discretion. Also, even if I go out and return home too late sometimes, you won't make such a big fuss if I'm gonna be safe and I told you beforehand that I would be really late. Other than that, I thank you for never stopping me from going anywhere most of the time (except those labelled 'wild' by you two) and are generally open to me sleeping over at other people's house, or letting me come home after midnight (but not 1am since that will create a bomb in you two), as long as there are people fetching me home. Thank you for allowing me to sit in my friend's car and letting them drive me, showing that you trust in my discernment in terms of good vs bad drivers among the drivers I know. Luckily my bro, who fetches me the most time, is highly skilled in terms of driving. & when wenjie was drinking beer, I did tell myself I won't sit in his car. heh.

& that's all I think, there would surely be a lot more, a lifetime of things to write/say.

Love
meimei
