My Darling Daughter

February 23, 1223

It's been one year since you left.

So young, sweet, and innocent...

Too soon to be taken away, my dearest Rapunzel...

May 16, 1223

I've falllen into a dark pit, 

unable to escape with You, 

My darling daughter, by my side.

June 21, 1223

I have fallen ill,

Ill of the mind.

I cannot go on much longer.

I will meet you soon my dearest Rapunzel..

January 1, 1234

Rejoice!

My dearest daughter, you are back and more radiant than before.

January 1, 1239

Rapunzel, you are five.

So big and eager to learn!

I could not be more proud to have you as my own!

January 1, 1241

As you age I am worried...

You grow increasingly curious..

But you are not yet independent, 

So I stay contempt.

January 1, 1247

Rapunzel my dear, why?

Why must you grow curious?

Why must you want to leave the tower?

Why must you want to know more about the outside world?

The outside world is dangerous!

please do not leave me...

Where have you taken off to? 

Are you hiding?

Is it just a silly game?

Rapunzel my darling please come back..

February 1, 1252

I still hold a slight twinge of hope that you shall return.

March 1,1252

I am growing increasingly worried..

My love please come home!

I promise to be better than I was...

April 1, 1252

My heart is shattered.

Why have you not returned? 

Did you not love me?

I cannot bear the thought of that...

May 1, 1252

I have resigned to my bed most days,

depressed,

broken,

and dreary.

June 1, 1252

I have no will to go on. 

It takes all my effort to even breathe.

My darling, why would you hurt me that way?

July 1, 1252

You must have died.

That is why you have not returned.

August 1, 1252 

My angel, I will see you soon. 

December 1, 1252

My arrangements are made. 

Soon my love we shall be together.

I love you my Darlign daughter.

January 1, 1253

My Dearest Rapunzel,

On what would be you birthday, 

I leave this earth.

I am sorry,

I was not enough

I was not a good mother

I have failed you.

For that I will be forever sorry.

Love, your mother
