day three - your parents.
sometimes i wonder when i'll stop feeling like that little girl of years past, wondering what it would be like when i was tall like you. when you dropped me off at college and my eighteen-year-old self shed all self-confidence and clung to you and cried. when i was scared of the thunderstorm, but safe with you even if the house blew down.
the truth is, no matter how far away i am, no matter how grown-up i may seem to be, there will always be that little girl inside me who will call home for advice, who who will run to you with arms outstretched, who will trust you no matter what happens.
you gave me my life. you gave me everything i have. you made me everything i am. i would be nowhere without your love, a forgotten autumn leaf blowing away in the winter winds. instead, you gave me roots, and planted them deep in this crazy world, where i know i will grow and break through and grow tall above the rest. i owe it all to you. i love you.
