My Parents.

It is only that when you are far removed from something that you start feeling nostalgic and realize how much that something meant to you. It is a stupidity that's programmed too deeply in our nature. Too often, this nature of ours makes us realize the meaning of precious things in our lives too late.

Such has been the case with me and my parents. I... recently started understanding how lucky I am to have my parents. I have been pretty much by myself since year 2001, and yet it is now that I realize this.

I am born given much more than I deserve. Without deformity, without worries of any nature, and with a gifted mind. To a parents undivorced and open-minded. To a parents who has always supported me in what I wished to do.

Mother and father. You are my inspiration, you are my motivation. Though far away, and though chastening more often than showing me love, I understand you now. You have given much for the sake of me and cared much for me. It must not have been easy to see your child take the world on at young age; yet you have decided to help me become who I am.

You have guided me to be what I am, guided me to this place, without forcing me in anyway.

I'm too afraid to tell you this directly. It goes too contrary to what I have been showing you, and I'm afraid. However, here's me and here's my voice, thanking you for what you have given me. It is the least I can do.

I wanted to thank you before I take on a chapter of my life. I love you, much more dearly than I can and will ever express.
