The Letter

Today I cried. I cried a whole lot. It was one of those gut retching cries. My mom sent me a letter. One that made my heart ache and then strangely enough begin to heal. I know I am being vague but thats the way I will spin it for now.



I must say, I love the woman who birthed me. She is phenomenal.  She was really tough on me as a child. I now understand the stressors of being and immigrant in a strange land and the numerous decisions that she had to make to keep us safe. She has done her best and I hope in mine and my sisters journey through adulthood, we have been able to call her blessed. I hope that If I ever get the chance to be a mother one day that I am half as good as she is.

Take some time out this week to just give your mom and mother figures alike a huge hug.
