Contoh 1 (Biasa diungkapkan pada hari Ibu, hari Ulang Tahun Pernikahan orang tua)

Dear Mom and Dad,

I know, you do not need this thank you, but I am doing it for myself. I never said it before, but you are the best parents one could ever get. Lucky me! You really mean the world to me, in fact I saw this world through your eyes. You gave me the wings to fly away and explore this world on my own. Thank you very much for the love, care, and affection you showered me with. I may not be able to ever return that to you, but I want to say, I LOVE YOU! And thanks for making me the most cherished person in your life. THANKS!!!!

Love you,

I know you find it weird, but I really mean it. Thank you for being there for me always. I will always cherish those precious moments spent with you.

Life was never so youthful, it’s your friendship that will keep me young, even when I will be 60. Thank you very much for every thing.

Love you buddy!
