I would like to express my gratitude to my parents

It has been difficult for both of you from the day I was born ...
I was born with my small and large intestine twisted...
I was sent to hospital several times because of asthma...
I had a lot of accidents since I was small...
I was stubborn , naughty, playful , and a hyper kid ...

It was difficult for you  raising up
A child like me


I wish I was better ,
I wish I was healthier ,
I wish I didn't let u shed a tear,
and I wish that I can make you happier....

For those tears you shed for me ,
Because of my accidents,
of my stubborness,
or even my wrongs,
I'm sorry...

I can't turn back time to change those events,
But I promise that I'll do better this time ..

Thank you for giving me a chance to see this world ,
Thank you for raising me up ,
Thank you for providing me a shelter,
A place I could find comfort ,
and I call home..

Thank you for enduring me,
I was a stubborn kid ,
I made mistakes I knew I shouldn't,
It was a learning process,
For me to find my true identity,
And I thank you for helping me ,
Helping myself to discover me.

When I was small,
I promised myself to let you proud,
And to let you shed tears of happinness,
But sometimes,
I don't do it well..
And I knew you were dissapointed for myself,
So thank you for giving me a opportunity to change,
And thank you for your efforts in raising me up.
