Day 3 — Your parents

Dear Mummsy,

You've put up with me for 16 whole years. You annoy the shit out of me sometimes. You don't understand me most of the time but that's okay. We have so much fun when we're together. I love our random San Diego getaways and shopping sprees. Sometimes you make me feel like I'm such a bad person though. You know how to tear me down, but then you blame me for being upset. Sometimes I hate you and just want nothing to do with you but we always make back up and act like nothing happened. The damage lays dormant though, trust me. I can't wait till I move out because I'll be on my own. I'll prove you wrong. I will be able to take care of myself. I wish I could repay you for all you've done for me my whole life. You're my only parent. Regardless of if I meet my dad one day, I'll only consider YOU my Mom and dad. No one will ever, ever take your place. You deserve so much more than what people give you, me included. I'm sorry for always stressing you out and putting you through so much shit. But I'm growing up, I'm gonna make mistakes. I've learned I can't always be perfect. You've taught me so much. I just can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am for you. Through all our fights Momms, I love ya. I'll make it up to you one day.
