The 30 Day Letter Challenge
Write to - Your Parents

Dear Mum & Papa,

This is the one letter I wouldn't like to complete. Every morning before leaving for school I ask if there's dinner at home that day. Half the time we're certain some of us will be out and say, "take care of yourself", the other half of the time i get non-committed answers like "just come back early". When i say my friends had planned a movie outing, you insist I don't give family priority. Later on those days i get the news Papa has company for dinner, and no one is home when i rush back after school at seven.

Family is not fun, but yet i know very well family is forever. I've learnt over the years fighting never helps, but negotiating around each others personalities that we know so well helps just a little bit more. I know you two have your own secrets, and don't share them with me even though i'm already 18. I am able to deduce your thoughts, and you two know i do it very well. Are you scared that i'm growing up so fast?

I am mature, I am strong. You two are so afraid to disappoint me. Saying no to my plea to join my friends for a diving trip that day hurt very bad, but thank you for understanding how much i wanted to do it. Thank you for giving me a good answer as well, and a reminder to less selfish and make allowances for people around me. Parenting is never fun, but i hope you enjoyed the ride so far. Ben still has some distance to go, but at this age, I can feel the insecurities that he's going through. You two are noticing them, and i'm glad that we are still your first priority.

I will always give you my weekends. I will always try my best to bite my tongue when voices are raised at home. I will try to remember to do my chores daily, and I will always take a step back to listen to your lecture again with a clear head. I will talk to you, even though you may not always give me the answer i would like to hear. I will always look back at your waving hands, after each time i travel a bit further away from home. I will always smile when i remember your faces.

And, I will always look at you a two as one.

Love,
Joy
