Dear Mom and Dad，

I know that I hurt you very badly yesterday. I am extremely sorry for my behavior and I have no courage to face you.

Dear Mom, I love you more than my life. When I was a kid, you were the one who always stood by me, who cared about me, who loved me more than anything. When I was sick, you took care of me the whole night. And Dad, you are my real superhero. When I did anything wrong, you always pointed it out at once and showed me the right way.  I've thought about my actions and I've realized that I was wrong for the way I acted. I want to apologize.

Sincerely，

Li Hua
