Dearest Mom and Dad,
I know I haven't written a letter for a long time but I'm sure you understand. Today I sought out time to pen down this letter as my urge to meet you is immense. Are you surprised to see this letter?
Well, I wanted to talk to you about this, but then I thought I will be able to express myself better in a letter. Throughout the time I was sick and was crying all night, Maa you gave up your sleep and sat all night nursing me. Soaking the towel in ice water and placing it on my head, waiting for the fever to die down. The time Papa, you came back late from work after a long tiring day, yet you went off to get my school supplies without cribbing. Papa, every time I asked you for a certain amount of money, you would give me more than what I asked for, with that perfect smile of yours. I am truly blessed to be the daughter of a perfect set of Indian parents. But yes, now that I have reached an age where I would like to request you a few things from the bottom of my heart. Guide me through my journey. But please do not carve the path for me.
I would like the freedom to make my own decisions and the opportunity to make my own path, no matter how hard it may be. As an adult child, let me depend on myself first before rushing to you for any concern. Also, I am quite capable of solving the daily problems of my life. I am fortunate enough to have a good relationship with you, I listen and appreciate the information, wisdom, guidance you offer. I assure you that I am going to lead a happy life and you will not have to worry about the decisions I make for myself.
I will put in the best of my efforts in the field I am truly passionate about. You will raise your head with pride and tell me, that you are proud of me with those beautiful eyes glistening with tears of joy.
Give my regards to grandpa and grandma and don't miss me too much.
Your loving daughter,
XYZ.
