The love and appreciation I have for my parents, especially my mom, is something I wish I started feeling earlier. 2013 will be the year I spend the most time with them, make them proud, and remind them in any sort of way that I love them with every fibre of my being. They are the sole reason why I'm here today. Without them I'd be lost. Without them I'd be hopeless. They are like a vital organ to my body; I need them to survive. Without them I cannot live. I cannot function.

I love you, Mom and Dad. I will try my best to make you proud this year.
