To my dearest mom,

Hello ma, it's been more than 9 years since you left this world. Time flies so fast. I already have my own family, happily married with my loving husband and a wonderful son. Our life is not perfect, but I'm glad God answered my prayer to find someone who will be with me. I know you are happy seeing me right now. I remember the day you left in this world, you want me to be strong and you do believe that I can. Well, here I am now, I passed all the circumstances and obstacle that comes in my way. That's why I'm thankful for raising and loving me unconditionally, for all your sacrifices with your life just to give me a better life in the future. I owe you everything. I never regret having a mother like you.

Our life before was never easy, we've been apart for several times. As a child, I never understood why you chose to work far away from me. I never realized how difficult your decision to be apart from me. But then, I learned how to deal my feelings that moment when I miss you, want your hug and kisses, and when I needed you if I'm alone and sad. But everything you did, is to sacrifice just to have a better future. I remember that time, we used to exchanged letters and pictures by post mail. I was happy reading your letters while I can't hold back my tears. I know you do so as you said.

Then the moment you decided to stay with me and find a new job in town, that was the most precious moment of my life. Having you beside me. We used to spend time in the mall while eating our favorite ice cream. But something changed, I left you alone while I'm studying my college, and work far away from you after I graduated. I was busy then, I don't use to send a message or call more often. I didn't realize how much you miss me. I used to be far away and learned my life to be alone. I was stupid.

To regret is too late. We only had few months together by the time when you are already weak. We fought our lives to live and survived, but the destiny cannot be changed. You will be gone and left me behind. That's the saddest moment of my life. But life is what we make it. I learned my mistake, I stand on my own when I stumble and fall. Survive and stand still no matter how life it is. That's how you taught me when I was a child.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH but I never said it more often. I prefer to write it in a greetings card. I'm sorry for being not a perfect daughter but I do love you and miss you! I hope you are happy ma! I will never ever forget you! Thank you for your unconditional love!

Your daughter,
Tonette
