Dear Veterinarian,
Thank you for helping animals when they are sick. And we all know that you don't like to hurt them. I guess that's what veterinarians do. Thanks for everything.

Dear Dad,
Thanks for fixing my bike. And fixing my dirt bike, too.

My mom gives me whatever I want. She gets me ready for school and tucks me in at night. She brings me to the doctor's when I'm sick and gets me my breakfast, lunch and dinner. She loves me very much and I love her too. Thank you mom.

Dear Mom,
Thank you for giving me birth. I am glad you celebrate my birthday. I am happy you cook me dinner. You put air in my bike tires. And you love me so much. And you have good surprises.
