The Letter

My Dearest Mother,

There are things I wished I had said to you and things I wish I'd held back, instead.

Not thinking of your happiness, but rather my reaction to your needs was not only selfish, but completely uncalled for.

Looking back, I realize that your happiness never came first, you always did what was "best" for us.

I'm sorry, Mother, for not thinking forward, for not thinking of you. I love you and I miss you so.

Love,
Your Daughter
