Today I have mixed feelings, I am feeling good that I am trying to have word with you but same time it’s killing me inside thinking why it took so long.
I could have spoken with you at any time, but I ignored it. I kept myself busy in school, tuitions, video games, burgers, and whatnot. I easily find time to watch a Disney movie, the same way I could have found time to talk to you. I am sorry. I know you have heart of gold, you will forgive your child and write me back.
I will not crib about others today, who did what and who hasn’t. I want to tell you what I am going to do for you. In fact, I am too little to do anything for you, you are almighty, what I can do for you. Still, there are little things I can do to respect you and to value your gifts.
You gifted us food, shelter, freedom, and identity. But as we are not paying for it or fought for it, we have ignored you, we have taken you for granted. But I am going to correct my mistakes now.
