　　亲爱的爸爸、妈妈:
　　这一时刻终于来临:我即将毕业了。感谢你们15年来对我的帮助。我至今仍记得你们过去常说的话:“你想成为什么就能成为什么。”我为你们是我的父母而高兴,特别是当我听到别的孩子说他们和其父母的关系相处得不融洽时。我很高兴我们一直相处融洽,你们总是支持我的决定,也总是尽力帮助我,这对我来说非常重要。
　　爸爸,我还记得你第一次带我去钓鱼的情景。我喜欢钓鱼,但从没钓到过,为此,我还记得你常常对我发火。我知道那时的你只是想告诉我正确的方法。每当我哭泣的时候,你总是想方设法地鼓励我。这就是我常常称呼的慈爱、体贴的好爸爸。有时候你和妈妈也会不同意我所作的决定,但无论我做什么你总是支持我,这就是我为什么如此喜欢你们的原因。
　　妈妈,我们每周五晚都要和女同学一起出去玩,我希望能保持这个习惯,即使我上了大学也不改变。我乐意把一切都告诉你,因为你最大的优点就是善于倾听,很高兴我们经常都在一起并相处得很融洽。你不但有品味而且还很风趣,爸爸也是如此。你们总是讲述你们的观点,而我总是乐于倾听。当我不听你们的话时,通常都是你们是对的。
　　我每天都会感谢上帝让你们作了我的父母,是你们把我抚养长大。我很幸运有你们俩陪伴在我身边,而有的孩子和父母之间就没有这么融洽的关系。现在我才明白,你们俩一直在一起并相敬如宾对我来说是多么幸运,这让你们变得如此特别,我会珍藏我们在一起的每时每刻。
　　永远爱你们的
　　埃里森

　　Dear Mom and Dad,
　　The time has come: I’m graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years. I still remember when you guys used to say, “You can be whatever you want.” I’m so glad you are my parents, especially when I hear kids say they don’t get along with theirs. I’m glad we do, and that you support me in my decisions. You always try to help, and that’s important to me.
　　Dad, I remember when you first took me fishing. I loved going even though I never caught anything. I also remember when you would get mad at me. I realize you were only trying to show me the right way. When I would cry, you would always be there to try to cheer me up. That’s what I call a good, loving, caring dad. Sometimes you and Mom don’t agree with the decisions I make, but you are there by my side in whatever I do, and that’s why I love you both so much.
　　Mom, we have our girls night out every Friday and I hope that never changes, even when I am in college. I love telling you everything; the best part about you is that you listen. Not only do you have great style, but you love to have fun, and Dad does, too. You always give me your opinion and I listen. And when I don’t, you are usually right!
　　I thank God every day that you are my parents and that you guys brought me up right. I’m very fortunate having the two of you by me side when some kids don’t have this kind of relationship with their parents. It makes me know how lucky I am that you two are still together and get along so well. That’s what makes you both so special to me and I take in every moment that I get with you guys. Love always,
　　 Allison
