Happy Mother’s Day, Mom

“Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I know it is a bit late, but I only just got back into town from a work trip. If it had not been for all the cancelled flights that I kept getting, I would have been here to actually celebrate the day with you. Anyway, I... I brought you some flowers. Tulipes, and columbines. They were always your favorite. I know it has been three years, but I think about you when it rains and if somewhere else on those rainy days there is another family dealing with their own tragedy. It is sad Mom, I know, but I can’t help it. I’m sorry. So sorry. I guess you would say that what is even sadder is that even though I miss you, I dread coming here. Just like the last few times. I am sure you see it. I procrastinate coming here till I have only a few minutes of time to spend with you, but I have decided to get help again, so I hope that causes things to get better. I am already seeing some improvements, I mean I am taking classes again even though I still don’t know what my major should be yet..... I’m sorry so sorry, but I only have a few seconds left before the cemetery closes. I did have some news I wanted to share with you. Dad found someone else, and while I don’t really know what your thoughts are on it, I don’t like it. I don’t think he should be able to, I mean it is not like you can. Anyway, the caretaker is saying I am out of time, so I guess this is goodbye. I will be back in June. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.”
