Letter To My Children

To my beautiful daughters,

There are not enough words to express how much I love you, how often I think of you, and how deeply I miss you. Each day that passes without hearing your voices or seeing your faces is a day I carry you in my heart even more fiercely.

I know it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to talk — not because I haven’t tried, but because something I never wanted has happened between us. I’ve reached out, I’ve waited, I’ve prayed, and still the silence has stretched. I don’t say this to make you feel guilty — only to tell you the truth: I have never stopped loving you, and I never will.

There are things I wish I could explain in person, with warmth and patience. I never chose to be apart from you. I never walked away. My heart has always been with you. The situation we’re in — whatever you’ve been told — was not born out of abandonment or neglect, but out of pain, control, and misunderstanding that I didn’t know how to fix on my own.

I know you may have questions. You might even feel hurt, angry, or confused. That’s okay. All your feelings are valid. All I ask is that you remember who I’ve always been to you. Think of the moments we’ve shared — laughter, hugs, songs, stories. Those were real. That was me. And I am still that same mom, standing right here with open arms and an open heart.

I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes. But being your mother has always been the most important and sacred part of my life. I want nothing more than to rebuild whatever time and truth has taken from us.

Please don’t let silence convince you that I ever stopped trying. I’ve written letters, made calls, sent love in every way I could. If you’re reading this now, it’s because I’ve kept holding on to hope — hope that one day you’ll feel safe enough to reach out, and we can find our way back to each other.

Until that day comes, I will keep writing, praying, growing, and loving you from afar. You are each my heart in motion. Nothing could ever change that.

I am here. I always have been. I always will be.

With all the love in the world,

Mom
