If I knew as a child what I know now, Mummy, I probably wouldn't have made things so hard for you and hurt you. I would have understood that you were looking out for my best interest even though it may not have seemed so at the time. I would have known how difficult it is to let go,to stand back and let someone you love learn from their mistakes. I would have realized how fortunate I was to have a mother who was always there for me, even after an argument, even after I'd said things I shouldn't have. While it's too late for a lot of things,it's not too late for me to tell you that I appreciate how loving you are, how giving you've always been and that even though I may not always be good at showing it,
I love you very much & I've realized how special our relationship is.
