A Mother's Love

I don't know what I did to the gods to make them but me through so much pain.

I spent my whole life alone, being punished for a sin that was not mine. But then they sent you to me when you were just a little boy. And for so long it was just you and me on this island. I did my best to raise you, made this island a home so it never felt like the world abandoned you.

You were my everything my sun, moon, heart, you were my son. I watched you grow from a toddler who couldn't pronounce his own name, to a ten year old who didn't have a sense of danger, to the young man you are today.

They let me love you, then took you away. It ripped my heart out watching you board that ship knowing i will never be able to come with you, that i will never see you again. I will be alone again, on this empty paradise forever young wondering if you are still alive, if you have found your own happiness, made a family of your own.

With all that said I know with all my love that i will never regret taking you in, I'll never be sorry for loving you.

Love

Mom.
