Coming near to 19 years under our wings, it is a good time to spread yours and fly. We are sure it will be a beautiful and exciting journey ahead. I do hope we have done good, if not bad, raising you up and becoming the person you are now. I can't help wishing we could have done better, any shortcomings you have are entirely made from how we brought you up with our very own imperfect ways of parenting. With that, I am truly sorry. I can only hope you would be able to recognize them and make amendments as you find your ground.
From a very young age, I have always been protective of your feelings. Knowing you are a sensitive person, often times I find it tough to find the right words to say, and even not saying anything doesn't go well with you. God knows how much struggle it is for me to do/say the right thing and in the end, most times I would just sweep it under the carpet and pray for the best.
However, I can't say we didn't fare that bad being mommy and papa. Maybe a 6/10 score? We do, and that I know for sure, have your best interest at heart and love you to all the moons in the multiverse and back. that is 10/10, no doubt about it. I hope that is enough. I hope that you know.
We hope you will find joy and fun in your varsity life, while it also would be a pressure cooker, I believe. Don't fret. We believe in you. As I have always said, you will never disappoint us for you have achieved so much already, we are already proud of you in everything that you do, for you give all your best. That's most important to us. Learn to manage your stress, and always believe in yourself. Nothing in life is worth losing yourself or sleep. As always, do your best and that's enough. Comes what may, life would iron out itself and everything will be a past, be it good or bad. Live life with no regrets. Just as I have not an ounce of regret having the greatest chance to see you grow up everyday from the day you were born. The past 20+ years of my life has been the most fulfilling and memorable time of my life.
With now flown away from the nest, making new friends, getting used to new living space, don't forget to share your moments with us. Drop us a line or two, share some pictures with us, tell us about your new life. We would always be happy and delighted to hear from you, and always looking forward to the next time we meet. Papa never says it much but he really missed those times you would run to him for a hug when he comes home from work everyday, and that was the joy and energy which kept him going. I hope the relationship you have with him will flourish better when you are away now. To him, you are his most precious baby darling, that I know for sure.
