"She was her joy, her wonder, her daughter. After all the pain, screaming, pushing and collective breathing. She was here, her daughter, screaming and crying much like she had."
.Letter. 3 — your parents
Dear mum,
No words can explain why you are the most absolute amazing person on the earth. Not only did you give me life (kudos for that!) you raised me basically on your own, and hardly broke down. You raised me well, even if you think that you might not have done. And as much as I don't show it at home, I am a well mannered, confident, polite young woman... To everyone else, especially their parents. We may not always agree and that shows, but it's our arguments and our rows that make me the way I am, you made me stubborn. That one is your fault.
I'm sorry I'm not the perfect daughter to you, and that I can be a bitch. I'm sorry I'm not as helpful as I could be, and I'm sorry I'm such an electrical cluts. But I'm thankful for the freedom you allow me, and for teaching me life lessons like you have. I'm especially thankful for you taking me away from my comfortable little world and taking me to places wild beyond imagination. You've helped to give me experiences that I carry with me today. And I'm thankful for inheriting your fierce strength mentally, and emotionally.
You've given me a lot, and it's not often that I give much in return. But ever so secretly, I do. I always tell everyone how strong and nice you are, how you raised me. Many of my friend's parents wouldn't mind adopting me because of my manners and personality. This on it's own is a major compliment on your parenting and your skills as a single mother.
We've had our tough times, and we've had easier ones. Put them all together we've just had an entertaining roller coaster of a life.
With as much family love as I can muster,
Courtney/ Snorkers/ Court/ "What's your name again?"
.Courtney Grace. ♥
