parents
The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
A Letter I cannot send
Dear Mom, I am writing this letter which I know that you would never see, or even know that I wrote this to you. As the mother's day was coming close, messages like "I love you, mom!", "Thank you, mom!", and "the best mom in the World!" were flooding every SNS platform with lovely pictures of mom and daughter or mom and son. It hurts me to see those beautiful pictures with messages because I cannot do the same.

My mother walked this earth for eighty-four years. Her walk was anything but an easy one. Yet she held her head high and taught her children and grandchildren to do so as well. How foolish I was not see how courageous she had been in her life.
Shirley BelkPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesComing Together
Many people want to be mom's and dad's, and to those that are well we know how when our kids are away from us how it feels as part of us are gone as well. Well I felt that way and thought after my 1 st child that would go away so my wife and I had 4 more still never went away. A few months back I was talking to my best childhood friend, Her and I always had a way of coming back together and picking up like we never left each other.
Dear Mom:
Dear Mom, I have learned so much from you. You've taught me so many things: always say 'please' and definitely say 'thank you'. Clean up my mess and admit when I am wrong. But most importantly, you taught me to always tell the truth. You were always someone I could admire and look up to for following your own teachings, but I am sad to say I may have failed you. Here I am to present to you my confession: I have been lying to you my entire life.

Cancer itself is unspeakable, or at least it was how I find it when I come to learn that cancer was treacherously eating my flesh inside.
Sarah TaylorPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesEverything you need to know about kids' scooters
All you need to know about children's scooter is included in this post. Children enjoy exploring with their parents' possessions, such as cars and scooters. Your youngster watches the world and imitates your activities. They absorb information from their surroundings and wish to travel freely like other people. When purchasing any toy or object, though, safety is paramount.
Vlad Andrei ApostolPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesMy mother gave me my body
The day my mother gave birth to me was the day she says she instantly loved me. All those years she held onto that love through the process of taking care of a needy baby, to a temper tantrum filled toddler, all the way to a moody teenager, until I finally became an adult who was responsible for herself. Unfortunately, all that love she feels for me wasn't so easily passed over to how I feel about myself.

We are alive today. Both of us. You worry about me. I know you worry so much. You live your life and laugh at the TV. Dad annoys you sometimes, but you love him so much. I'm thankful that your voice is the voice with which I was raised. I know how much you care and love us four children. I know how to speak with love because you taught me how to talk.

I always knew you were hurt. I always knew you had been broken. I was able to hear your soul crying out, buried deep within the rigidity of your expectations. I just couldn't reach you in it, and you couldn't reach us from inside of it.
Rheanna DouglasPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesHey Mom
Hey mom. I never told you this but, I still don’t know what I am doing. I pretend that everything is fine but really it feels like, I’m in a room and it's on fire and there are no doors. I know I wrote you a letter to you a month ago saying I got a job. I don’t have that job anymore. I know, shocker right? I am being honest by saying, I did try my best. Heck, I got sprayed in the face with pepper spray. I can say, that was one of the worst experiences of my life. I know, I haven’t talked to you in a while. There is a reason for that, a reason I never told you before. Remember when I was younger and I started to struggle with school? Remember I had one friend who was a grade younger than me? Remember when I asked you for help? Well, I was struggling with my identity. Since I was adopted I never felt like I really knew who I was.
Elana YerbyPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesA Letter to my Mother
Hello Mother, Right now you're sat barely 10 feet away and yet it feels like there's an ever expanding space between us whilst equally it feels like you're so close I can't move or breath under the overwhelming pressure.
Cronan ParryPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesDear Mum,
Dear Mum, I hate you. I hate how I feel like you've abandoned me, how I feel like your constant disappointment, how I feel like you are happier now that we rarely speak. I hate how you’ve disparaged me for years, how you used to speak about my dad, how you've raised me to feel this way. I hate that my dreams were ridiculous to you. Because of your action, because of your words, I'm filled with all this burning anger, all of this bottomless sorrow, all my self resentment; you let it happen. I hate how you dismissed my feelings, how you made me feel like I couldn't do anything right, how you made me feel like I was always wrong. Why don't you try to talk anymore? Why didn't you take me out for the birthday meal you promised? Why am I your last thought? Why don't you I've me like my brother? When did you stop loving me? When will I be good enough? When will you love me again? Will you ever again? What do I have to do? What do I have to say? What will make you happy? Does this make you happy? The distance between us is far, yet I feel that it is tenfold. I was scared of you, I was resentful of you, I spiralled and you weren't there. Did you ever forgive me for being a brat? Did you ever forgive me for the things I said? Will you ever forgive me for the mistakes I've made? I'm asking the question and I'm terrified of your answer. I'm terrified that you can't forgive me. I'm terrified that I’d understand if you didn't. I hate that I feel these things. I hate that these are the thoughts I have about you. I hate that I'm reason we don't talk.
