Dear Mother,
You took me in when I was just a new born. You tried to keep me in church. And that was the most best thing you could’ve ever did. Now I know where to turn when my life is flipped upside down or when I need to give thanks, and that is most def* GOD himself. You even bought me beautiful things I never even thought of asking for. Kept me in a private school for my childhood life and then a charter school through junior high. Boy do I thank you because I love school. — but. .Our record player keeps playing soft and slow melody. But then it stopped and sped up. That’s when high school hit. I started to see this dramatic change. Our relationship started to drift apart. Then I realized I was going through that . . “Teenage Stage”. So I decide to slow down the record. Lately we’ve been agruing over little things. My outfits, Dishes, my additude. But we mainly agrue about College. I feel that you don’t want me to leave. You want me here stuck in Los Angeles, California like all these other low-Lifes, no class having people! Sigh. (Sorry to those who fit that description but that’s just how I see it.) I was thinking to myself one night, maybe your afraid of letting me go. You want me to stay a little girl forever. Why can’t you just let that little girl go and except the fact that I transformed from a child to a young lady? How does that saying goes? A bird has to leave the nest to learn to how fly. (Correct me if I’m wrong, please)
Well, mom. I’m that bird and I’m asking you to let me spread my wings and learn how to fly. I bet I’ll be a darn good one too.
aha. I’ll be taking off soon. I’ll always love you. I’ll still be your little girl. Like when I’m sick, a husband can’t take care of his wife like a mother can. Or when I need that girly bond, I can’t talk to my friends the way I talk to you. Just know that you were a great mother and I seriously hope to be one just like you!.
Muah,
Valencia.
