As I experience life living in Canada away from home, I find myself more grateful than ever for the support of my parents. Every day, they check on me to see how I’m doing, reminding me that I’m never truly alone, no matter the distance. The daily FaceTime calls with my dad have become something I treasure deeply. He’s truly my best friend. We spend hours talking about everything, laughing about anything, and having long talks that help me and motivate me in so many ways.
It’s deeply comforting and sweet to know that if I ever feel sad, my parents are the first people I can always reach out to. No matter what I’m going through, they’re there for me. I believe that this experience has made our communication even stronger. We talk more openly now, and I feel even closer to them despite the physical distance.
Being here is about making the most of this experience, not just for myself but for them as well. I know that my happiness is their happiness. I want them to see that I’m thriving and enjoying every moment so they never have to worry. They’ve done so much for me, and I want them to feel the love and appreciation they deserve. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their help, advice, and love.
To my mom, who always makes countless sacrifices for my well-being, and to my dad, who never fails to make me feel cherished. Thank you. I love you more than words can express.
