I don't want to get heavy on you but I will always remember what

Please correct the given text. By 'don't want to get heavy on you', I tried to say something like I don't want to look too much modest, don't want you think that I'm practicing rather flattery, etc. In short, whatever I say really comes from the depth of heart and is every bit as pure as it could be. Is my choice good, is there a better phrase to replace it?

I don't want to get heavy on you but I will always remember what you have done for me through all these years and thank you for the support you have always shown; correcting and guiding me as I would've wanted my parents to, you would always be there in the cherished corrner of my heart.

It's the rest of the text that is maudlin, not the first clause. It should read something like this: Thank you very much for everything you have done for me through the years, for your support, advice and guidance. I am very grateful.
