Dear Mom & Dad —
I got your voicemail yesterday. Sorry I didn’t call back. I wasn’t ignoring you, it’s just that there’s been a lot going on around here and by the time my day slowed down, I was really tired, and didn’t feel much like talking. Plus, it was past your bedtime.
I never want you to think I’m ignoring you.
Sometimes it’s just hard to stay in touch.
But since you’re sleeping, and I’m still awake, clicking away on my keyboard, computer glowing in my face while I’m half-tucked into bed, I thought I’d write you a letter instead. There are some things I’ve been wanting to tell you.I was thinking about it the other day, about that time you asked what I needed from you, and I said, “nothing.” I changed my mind since then. I think I figured out what I need. It’s not money, and it’s not advice.
I just need you to tell me everything is going to be okay.
I need you to tell me I have what it takes.
I’m sure sometimes it’s hard. You see me making a decision that you think might hurt me, and want to protect me from that. You never want to see me hurt or sad. But the older I get, the more and more responsible I feel for my own choices. I’m trying to figure this all out, and I need you to believe I’m not going to mess everything up.
This is harder than I thought.
I was thinking about how I used to come to you when I was little and climb into your lap. I’d tell you about something that happened at school, or about how my stomach hurt. No matter how difficult the problem, you would help me fix it. Science fair projects. Book reports. A conflict with my teacher. Disappointment over a bad grade.
One time you even stayed up with me until 2am writing my English essay.
Remember that? I was such a mess, crying and swearing there was no way this would ever be done in time for school the next day. You just sat there calmly, and asked me to explain to you, piece by piece, what exactly I wanted to say.
If I didn’t make the team, or didn’t have friends, you always had an answer. You always made it better. And there are moments I wish life was still like that, that I could still come to you with whatever I was facing, and it would make everything better.
But I’ve got to find my own way now.
Don’t get me wrong. That doesn’t mean I don’t need you. I do, as much as ever. I just need something different from you than I needed before. I want your advice — I might even ask for it — but it isn’t what I need. What I need is your reassurance. Your affirmation. Your unequivocal confidence in who I am.
Even if I’m not like everyone else. Even if make a wrong decision.
What I need to know is when you’re proud of me. You don’t have to say it if you don’t mean it, but if you think it, it would help me to know. It would help to know when you think I’m headed in the right direction, or when I do something that makes you happy. You don’t have to. And trust me, I can tell when it sounds forced.
But if it crosses your mind, I’d love to know.
And yes, I’ll try to do a better job of staying in touch. I miss you. I worry that you think I don’t because of how little I call, but I do. You have no idea how much I love our conversations, how much of what you say I take to my heart.
You’ll always be my parents. But now you’re my friend, too.
Love you forever.
Writing this to you after a long time with hope that you are healthy, wealthy and happy there. I am writing you this to express what I had never done before for. I am very thankful for you guys being narcissistic, arrogant, wonderful, amazing, caring, loving, protective, inspiring, overprotective & hypocritical towards me for making me what I am. I remember every little favour you had done & doing. I am thankful to God that he blessed me with two amazing bodies whose shadow protects me from every danger, teaches me to fight against odds & learn from mistakes. If I start defining my love for you guys in the twenty-six alphabets then it wouldn't be enough. Love you father & mother. I am working hard here in Pryagaraj & hoping to get admission in the Allahabad University soon. Please, take care of eachothers
