Thank you, mum
by Rain
I was often angry at my parents for bringing me to this world.
I hated my existence for so long, I still do; for that, mum, I am sorry, but it is the truth.
But when it comes to you, tears of gratitude and a feeling of serenity overwhelm me.
I’ll never be able to repay you for holding me tight when I wasn’t making any sense
For forgiving my smallest and biggest mistake
For loving me when I couldn’t even love myself
For sacrificing yourself to protect me
Thank you for teaching me how to stand up and refuse the abuse
To accept people for who they are
To endue pain
To smile more often
To be kind to others
To dream, even when you try to stop me from following what I want, I can see beneath it all, I can see your faith in me
I can see your support
I learned from a small age to look at my parents as humans who do mistakes and can be wrong
But even with that, and all your imperfections, I couldn’t have had a better person to look up too
Through all the darkness of my childhood and lifetime, you were and still are my light
Mum, as a child, a teenager and as a woman, I thank you
I couldn’t have made it through without you.
I love you.
she’s so lucky to have you Reine 😉 I hope your Mum reads this. It brings tears to any mother’s eyes 🙂 and I am sure she knows your wonderful feelings towards her deep down inside. it feels so good to hear it said out loud too 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thank you =)
