Dear Mom,
Hello from far away. I hope this letter finds you well. I’ve been thinking a lot about you lately, and there are some things I really want to say. Being here, so far from home, has given me a lot of time to reflect, and there’s something I need to tell you from the bottom of my heart. I am so sorry.
I regret not appreciating all the things you did for me when I was younger. As I go through my days here, I often find myself thinking about everything you did for me, all the sacrifices you made, and all the love you gave me. I realize now how much I took for granted and how much I didn’t understand back then. You only wanted the best for me.
You always told me to do my best, to work hard, and to stay out of trouble. At the time, I didn’t always get why it was so important, and sometimes I resisted. But now, I see that everything you told me to do was for my own good. You wanted to prepare me for life, to help me become the best person I could be. And you were right, Mom. You were always right. It hurts me not to have realized this before.
I miss you so much. I miss your voice, your hugs, and your smile. I miss the way you made everything better, no matter what. Being away from you has made me realize just how much you love me and how much I love you. Your love has always been my guiding light, even when I didn’t fully appreciate it.
I think about all the times you stayed up late to help me with my homework, all the meals you cooked, and all the advice you gave. You always put me first, even when it meant sacrificing your own comfort and happiness. I see now how much you gave and how little I understood. I am so sorry for not recognizing it sooner.
Your love has shaped me into who I am today. It’s your strength, your wisdom, and your unwavering support that have carried me through the toughest times. I owe everything to you, Mom, and I want you to know how deeply grateful I am.
I can’t wait to come home and give you the biggest hug. I want to make up for all the times I didn’t show my appreciation and to let you know just how much you mean to me. You are my hero, my rock, and my heart. Thank you for everything, Mom. I love you more than I thought I could.
With all my love,
Johnny
