A Letter to My Mom

The stories from our class on Wednesday were motivating and touching. I envy the people that were able to talk about their mothers like that. In so many ways I wish I could do the same, but for as long as I could remember my relationship with my mother has been rocky at best. If I had the courage and conviction to tell her what I have grown to know I would tell her this:
Mom,
I know for my whole life that you worked very hard. While dad was in and out of work you took on another job to make up the difference. I am sorry for not understanding this, as it was most difficult for me as a child to understand. As I grew older our relationship continued to fall apart. As a grown man I should understand what you had to go through but the pain still lingers. This is not what you deserve, you did everything you could for the four children you had.
You were the one who told me to switch classes into photography and pushed me to go to R.I.T. You have opened more doors for me then I can count. All the amazing deeds and sacrifices you have made were not in vein.
I promise I will make a better effort to be a better person to you. I only hope that I live up to all the dreams you had for me.
Love Your Son,
Chuck
