TO MY SON❤️
I don’t really know how to go about it, but I have to start somewhere.
I know you probably feel abandoned like I didn’t love you anymore, or care.
But I’m telling you that’s soo far from the truth, I swear.
You’re my mommas boy, my first born, my best friend, we were always together like a pair.
I’ll NEVER forget when I asked you for Christmas what you wanted and you told me, “my mom back, the one I remember.” I’ll never forget those words you told me.
I prayed to god I could’ve gave you that at the time, but I’m ready now, sorry for everything I’ve missed, unfortunately.
Sorry I wasn’t able to do it sooner, bring back that mother you once knew.
I know you lost hope in me, wondering if you’d ever get her back, I questioned it too.
I know I haven’t told you lately how truly proud of you I am.
You went from momma's little boy to momma’s handsome man.
You enrolled in ROTC, joined the sport team and been working since 14.
Learned how to save money, got your own bank account, can even drive, I’m soo sorry for all I’ve missed in between.
I can’t even imagine how you felt looking for me in the crowd, full of parents and I wasn’t even there.
I was being selfish, my addiction made you suffer too and it isn’t fair.
My addiction took control of my soul, the only mother you ever knew.
Please don’t ever question my love for you, even thought I failed at showing you.
Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, you make me feel honored everyday to be able to be called your mother, I couldn’t ask for anything more.
I am fortunate and lucky enough to get the best son anyone could ever ask for.
I pray you find it in your heart to forgive me for my negligence to you lately, that was never my plan.
Drugs make people do things way out your character, that I do hope you understand.
I’m asking for your forgiveness, please give me one more chance.
I don’t wanna put any pressure on you but momma’s not going anywhere, take your time I’ll be here when you’re ready.
Can’t wait to hold you and wrap you in my arms like we used to and cuddle you like a teddy.
I know it’s gonna take time and that’s what I’m preparing myself for.
I know you need your mom back, but truth is I need you more.
My plan is to get out and show you, mom still has a whole lot of fight left in her.
Time for a fresh new start, I need my life back, most importantly my kids, that’s for sure.
I’m sorry mom’s been gone for too long.
Don’t worry, she’s coming back stronger than ever this time, I’m ready to prove everyone wrong.
Please don’t ever loose hope in me, mommy will always love you to the moon and back.
Your acceptance is what I’m striving for, it would mean the world and I’m not giving up until I receive that.
So I’m working on learning how to forgive myself, taking it one day at a time.
I pray one day you will find it in your heart to forgive me, hopefully we will be just fine.
Can we please try and pick up where we left off before drugs took my life and try this with a brand new start.
Everything I’m writing you I mean sincerely, I mean this from the bottom of my heart.
Hopefully we can work on putting this all behind us and never, ever again be apart❤️
I LOVE YOU SON❤️
