Mama, I know you can't hear me,
but I still want you to know
I'm sorry.
No amount of words can describe
how deeply, truly sorry I am.
I love you.
I was so selfish,
so naive, and so blind.
I never realized
how lonely
you were.
I should have been a better daughter.
I love you.
You were always there for me,
always.
I talked to you,
cried to you, and told you what was on my mind.
You listened.
You always tried to help me.
I love you.
You did everything you could
to make us happy.
But I feel we didn't give much back.
We gave our love,
we never for a second
took you for granted.
I love you.
But I guess it
wasn't enough.
Sorry, I'm late.
I love you.
Author notes
my mother passed away on 5-19-08. i'm angry at myself for being so blind and leaving her when she was sick. i read her journal (she only wrote one page), the closing line read "I wish I had some friends." I should have called her every single day. I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!
why do people i love have to die?
