A Hollow Place

Dear Mom,

Hi, it's been almost three years since we've spoken. Too long I think. I'm not really sure what to say but Dr. Conner says I can't ignore you forever. You would like him I think. He is full of common sense and does cross word puzzles during our sessions.

When you split with Dad, I swore I'd never forgive you. Do you regret it? Do you remember why you did? I can't.

You know, I stopped speaking to him too.

Now that its impossible for you two to make up and imposible for me to speak with him I regret so many things. I wish I had done this three years ago.

Before I left, do you remeber what you said? You told me then I would miss you. That a mother fills a place no one else can. I think Dad's are like that too.

Dear Mom, I'm hollow.

From: Your least favoirte daughter.
