A Letter to My Parents

in Family and Home on 07/02/14

A Letter to My Parents – I finally get it Mom and Dad

Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

I thought I’d write this letter to you both my parents, as I feel I need to acknowledge a few things, say sorry for a few others and let you know that I think I’ve finally grown up (mostly).

Dad, I used to think it was funny and wonder how you could not remember how old you were. My 12 year old mind simply could not fathom how someone could not remember each and every birthday and know exactly how old they were.

I wasn’t worried that you would have to think for a few minutes on what my exact birthday was, you always got the month right away but had to remember was I the child who was born on the 12th of that month or the other one born on the 20th. Mom always knew and would remind you and our birthdays never went by without a celebration of some kind.

Well dad, I just had to share that just today I told someone my age and then realized I was wrong! Oops I was actually a year older than what I said, having had my birthday a few months ago. Now I’m finding that I sometimes have to take a minute and calculate how old I am as I just don’t think about it.

Michelle and Mom 4

Celebrating my birthday is just not a priority any more and hasn’t been for quite a while now. However my daughter’s birthdays are a priority, and I never have to hesitate when asked when she was born. Now I know why mom you were the one to always remember without hesitation our dates of birth. After all who can forget pregnancy, labour and then the baby and toddler years, not this mom or most moms that I know.

Mom, all those times you told me that I couldn’t pull the wool over your eyes because you had already been there and done that. Wow how could I have ever thought I was smart enough to do that or that you were that dumb. I totally get it now and I understand why you kept saying “you’ll understand when you have a daughter of your own”.

Yes I do understand now, all those times you let me get away with “sneaking in” and using your make-up. Not saying anything until I was older as you wanted me to use quality stuff on my skin and not go out and buy garbage. Reining me in when I was pushing the limit and teaching me right from wrong even though I didn’t know it at the time.

Not letting me go to that party at night in the park that I so desperately wanted to go to and was mad at you for not letting me go. You know the one where two teen-agers were killed that night in a drunk driving accident.

mom and michelle april 20-97

My daughter is not at the partying stage…yet but she starts high school later this year but it has got me thinking about all those times you said no and the reasons you gave me. It has me thinking of how I’m going to say no, when I can say yes and just hope that I’ve instilled in my daughter the values and trust that you nurtured in me.

My daughter and I have already had the conversation (more than once) that you know mom is not stupid and anything you’re trying to pull over us, guess what mom and dad have already tried it. She’s had the “we’re not stupid you know” conversations and many more and each time I say them your words echo in my head and I smile inside. While I may have thought I could pull the wool over your eyes I always knew deep down that mom and dad were just looking out for me as parents should do.

Now as I look out for my child, have her think I’m so mean sometimes I just hope that deep down she knows I’m just looking out for her too.

My only regret mom and dad is that I did not tell you both before you were gone from us that you were right, I totally get it and no you were not stupid. That all your effort, frustration and love was not lost on deaf ears, it just took a while to absorb and for me to realize that I get it, you were right and thank you.

It took for me to be a parent to realize a lot of this as I started to echo your words. I think I’ve finally grown up (mostly) and I want to thank you both for it and tell you I miss you both. Mom you’ve been gone 10 years now, I can’t believe it and dad 7 years for you. You’re both missed but always loved. Thank you for helping me become the parent and person I am today.

What would you like to thank your parents for? Feel free to comment.

    Wow, the entire time I was thinking how lucky you still have your parents. Because I don’t. I can’t say I know the feeling because we all grieve differently. My parents were a lot smarter than I game them credit for when I was wrong that yes I can laugh at how smart I thought I was. Wonderful letter, I will remember it always

    You got me all teary eyed. You were very fortunate to have such loving, good parents.It’s unfortunate for some of us that did not grow up with parents like that.I had a dad that was too strict, and a mom that was too lenient. My parents divorced when I was 7 and I ended up in the end staying with my mom whose thought process was to let her 16 year old daughter date a 22 year old and have sleep overs. With that said, I totally get all you said because unlike my parents I know what kind of parent I want to be and it’s all in the best interest and well being of my children. Not what always makes them happy or gives them their way. There are times they may hate me, but it’s for their own good.

    What a wonderful way to pay tribute to your parents. I wish I had done similar, but sadly, it’s too late for that.
    Your letter reminds me of an old saying (can’t give credit to its’ author because I can’t remember) but it is:
    “The older I get, the smarter my parents get.” Seems to fit so much in life, especially when raising a family of our own.
    Thanks for sharing!

    This is a beautiful letter to your parents. I believe that, even though they didn’t hear these sentiments when they were alive, they still heard it while you were writing it and whenever you think of them. My mom passed when I was thirty and I believe she hears me all the time. It’s a one sided conversation but it’s still quite comforting. Oh my goodness, I had to laugh at the picture of everyone when they were young. I think my mom had that same outfit! lol Thank-you for this heartfelt post!

    This is a great letter and I agree with pretty much everything and would say the same thing to my parents if they were still here. My mom passed in 1987 and my dad in 1990 and my son wasn’t born until 2000. I find myself telling my son things that my mom or dad would tell me when I was 13 also.
    I also find myself wishing from time to time that my parents could have been here to see my son and watch him grow up. He is my only child and his mom passed in 2009 two weeks before his 9th birthday and he had a hard time dealing with that but now he is doing good and this last school year he made honor roll every term all year long. I am proud of him and I will do anything I can for him. I hope that I will be here long enough to be able to teach him all I can and see him grow up and have a family of his own.

    I know exactly what you mean. My mom & I used to be at odds about everything when I was a teenager & we both said mean & hurtful things to each other & I thought she was so stupid & I was so smart. Boy was I ever wrong most of the time & boy was she ever right! I am so sorry that you lost both your parents so early & it makes me realize how blessed I am to still have my mom even though she suffers from Alzheimer’s. We just lost our dad last year & I still miss him so much. But I learned so much from both of them and because of those lessons I am now blessed with 2 wonderful daughters that somehow let me be right & listened to what I told them & therefore didn’t have to go through as much junk as I did.

    Michelle that is so sweet. Made me teary eyed. I’m sorry you lost your parents. I’m so blessed to still have mine. I was such a pain in the butt when I was a teenager. I hung out with the wrong crowd and did drugs. I made my mom worry way to much and for that I feel bad. I know she’s forgiven me but it still makes me feel bad sometimes. I’m a better mom because of my mom teaching me how. I had my daughter when I was 20 and didn’t have a clue what I was doing. My mom helped me raise her since I was a single mom. I’m happy with the way my daughter turned out. She’s a good girl, has a wonderful man she’s going to marry next yr and has blessed me with a beautiful granddaughter who is my world. It’s so amazing to love my granddaughter the way I love my daughter. Thanks for sharing your letter 🙂

    What a beautiful letter to your parents, Michelle. I am fortunate to still have both parents, and it is really hard even in my 40’s to tell them how I feel, because sometimes I don’t feel as though I’ve lived up to their hopes and dreams for me, and become what they wanted for me in life. It’s just so hard to say the things to those we love, but I do know from losing some of my best friends and never getting to tell them what I felt, how important it is to say what we feel and how much we appreciate what they do for us, and that their opinions and values instilled in us do echo in our heads and mean a lot to us. – your note has inspired me to tell my family and friends how I feel! Thank you! By the way – I’m sure your parents knew how you felt, even if you didn’t get to tell them outright…they knew, just as they knew all the other things. Parents are smart, and they know us – just as you know your own kids hearts! <3 🙂

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳I've teamed up with @ChickenDotCA to give one lucky winner an Outdoor Wood Burning Round Cooking Pit for the month of April.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
