When I think about who I’ve become, I see two people behind it all: my mom and dad.
They weren’t perfect. But they were present.
They didn’t give us everything we wanted — they gave us what we needed.
My dad taught strength through quiet actions.
My mom filled our home with warmth and love.
Now that I’m grown, I see them in me — in how I care, how I endure, how I live.
To the parents who shaped us — thank you.
Because everything we are today… started with you.
