To My Mother

Dear Ma,

As of right now I don’t have the emotional strength to tell you these things so I’ll save it here for now. I want to say thank you for everything you’ve done for me and for always being honest. I want you to know everytime You worried for my brothers and I and cooked for us and cried for us, I noticed and I apologize for the times I chose to ignore it. I apologize for being so selfish when I was younger and I wish I actually understood how and dad had to do for us. Thanks for all the hours you had to put into jobs you hated for us and I’m so proud you’re at a place you love now. I’m sorry you felt the need to stay in a unhappy state for me and I’m grateful that you listened when I told you it was okay to leave. I’m sorry I never came to you in the beginning, I’m sorry I was so angry during that time...we’re over that now. Thank you for always calming me down when I’m stressed and panicked. Thanks for making me laugh and smile all the time and for letting me make my own mistakes and decision. Thanks for always being there when I fall. Thanks for always coming to my concerts and everything else. I will always always always try to make you proud cause you’ve you’ve done so much for us, I want to make it up to you on day. I will make it up to you. I promise...

Love, NRB
