Dear Mom,
I know you are hurting and have in many ways given up on life. It hurts me deeply though that you do not want or enjoy having a relationship with me and my family. It hurts that you won’t allow me to be a part of your life, to let our connection uplift and support you.
It hurts to be hurt and rejected by your hurt for so long.
You truly have no idea who I am. You have no idea who I have become. You have no interest in knowing who I am and that is what hurts the most.
I am a truly extraordinary person and you are missing out on the blossoming of one of your greatest creations.
You planted the seed but are missing the bloom, the color, the beautiful magnificence of who I am. You gave me roots and watered me with love – so don’t you want to see the flower that I have become?
Why are you letting your hurt make you give up on us? I miss you. I miss you deeply. I miss you with an ache only a mother understands.
It’s hard to love with all this hurt. But on this Mother’s Day I choose to do so anyway. I will love you because I am committing to my heart and not my hurt.
I thank you for giving me the strong, sturdy, loving roots that allow me to stand strong, sturdy and loving as I mother my young seedlings.
Love,
Ali
