I've been pondering all of the things I never had the chance to ask you, before you left. There are so many questions still unanswered. The older I get, the more I have.
Those thoughts also got me thinking about all of the things you were never able to learn about me. More than just the rebellious teenage years...Like jumping off of a bridge, sneaking out, skipping school, experimenting with drugs and alcohol, and driving illegally. I'm talking about the things that make me, me. The things I am passion about. The things that make me laugh and the things that bring me joy.
-I loved you both, unconditionally.
-I prayed for you every single day, to be my parents and for your souls.
-I've instilled in my children some of the things that I loved most about you. My oldest daughter is in the US Armed Forces, my son is an avid fisherman, and my little girl lives through music.
-Your grandkids are incredible.
-My favorite color is yellow.
-I am smart.
-I have always been a hypersensitive person. The things I witnessed as a child have caused me to struggle with extreme anxiety and OCD all of my life.
-I love math.
-I wanted to go to college.
-Through Christ, I was able to overcome most of the things you fought so hard to, but couldn't.
-I've also became a statistic anomaly.
-I bought a house.
-I marvel at sunrises and sunsets.
-I collect flowers and memories.
-I've traveled most of the US.
-I dream of being a writer.
-I am a good mother.
-You are about to become great grandparents.
-Of all the things you could've given me, your love would have been enough.
~Your daughter
