I want to take a moment to talk about the day I had yesterday. You saw me munching on some old candy as if it were gourmet. You noticed me sitting on the floor, crying with my head resting on my knees while I petted our furry friend. You probably heard me raise my voice more than I should have over trivial matters. You even witnessed me retreat upstairs before the sun had fully set, seeking solace in my bed because I wanted to escape the day. When you came to stroke my hair while I curled up with a book, I know it must have felt unsettling to see me like that.
Here’s the truth: sometimes, I can’t pinpoint a specific reason for my sadness. It would be much easier if I could tell you that something specific was weighing on my heart. I wish I could offer you a clear explanation—something that you could understand and process. But on those tough days, it’s just an overwhelming feeling that washes over me without warning, and I can’t always articulate why.
It’s essential for you to know that I don’t have all the answers. I’m human, and it’s crucial for you to understand that my struggles are not your fault. You are my everything, and even when I seem like I’m falling apart, my love for you remains steadfast. Life can be tough, and it’s okay for me to show that I’m struggling sometimes.
But here’s the good news: it’s perfectly normal to have days where we feel down. We don’t always have to put on a brave face. There are moments when it’s alright just to be sad. And you might not realize the warmth you bring me when you try to cheer me up by presenting me with flowers or my favorite pillow. Beneath my sadness, I always carry you with me—my most precious gifts.
Family means we can be authentic with one another. If I’m feeling low, I can embrace those feelings without pretense. Some days, we try our best but still feel like we’re not succeeding, which can be disheartening. I remind myself that without the bad days, the good ones wouldn’t shine as brightly. Bad days can teach us valuable lessons, but they can also feel overwhelming.
You are the light that helps me through these tough times—your laughter, the little snacks you prepare, your sweet singing. Yes, I had a difficult day yesterday, and there will be more ahead. But please never doubt my love for you, regardless of the day or the circumstances. Okay?
Sending you hugs and love,
Mom
