Sending hugs to you my lovely girl, the grief never grows small, but we grow out the grief, but it’s always there and sometimes we might have moments where it feels like we shrink again, but that’s okay. It’s been 11 years without my mum and it still feels like yesterday, I’m sure he’s super proud of you and I pray his soul continues to rest in peace💗

This is long overdue but I just want to say thank you🥹 Your comments on each letter is something that drives me to write even more and share my words with the world.

I like to think that our parents never really left us behind. I like to think they’re just behind us in the mist, smiling as they watch us grow and flourish. They’re definitely proud of us regardless and I’m proud of you too❤️

Wow

This piece reminded me of my friends mom

It's been five years already as well

She was like a mother to me

She took me in

The interesting thing is that we moved on but any time I remembered my heart is filled with pain

My heart goes for you big woman

It's really a relatable Experience.
