(Optional Phrase Above Name)
Mom & Dad

When I think of all the things you do,
the ways in which you care,
I'm filled with a sense of gratitude and pride
that is always there.
I seldom take the time to tell you
that I'm happy you're my mom and dad;
so I'll tell you now what's in my heart,
"You're the best that I could have!"

(Closing Example)
Love,
Mark

(Example Ending)
Merry Christmas

Mom & Dad

When we think of all the things you do,
the ways in which you care,
we're filled with a sense of gratitude and pride
that is always there.
We seldom take the time to tell you
that we're happy you're our mom and dad;
so we'll tell you now what's in our hearts,
"You're the best that we could have!"

Love,
Mark

Merry Christmas

(Optional Phrase Above Name)
Mom & Dad

It's hard to find the right words to tell you how I feel.
I want to deeply thank you for all you've done for me.
But "thank you" only begins to say
what's in my heart today.
I sometimes took for granted
your guidance and caring ways.
The sacrifices made for me
may have seemed to go unnoticed.
But, as I start a new chapter in my life,
I want you to know that your love and support
are among my most cherished memories.

(Closing Example)
Love,
Mark

(Example Ending)
Merry Christmas
