1. Thank you for not caring when I pee with the door open.

2. Thank you for reminding me of all the silly things I did last night.

4. Thank you for taking out the trash, doing the dishes, and vaccuuming my bedroom.

5. Thank you for dropping all your plans for me.

7. Thank you for never letting me sleep alone.

8. Thank you for being my DD.
