Colette sat at her desk, her hair a wreck as she ran a hand through it. Was there anyway she could reach her? Anyway at all? Laura refused to talk to her, let alone see her, and she was her mother. Colette sighed softly, grabbing a pen and going to work. Half hour later, she folded the letter, and shoved it under her door.
Laura,
I can't possibly understand what it is you're going through. But that doesn't mean I stopped caring for you, loving you. You are my daughter, how could I ever stop loving you? The day you were born, was the happiest day of my life. You brought something to me, that I didn't even know was missing. I love you father, and our love meant everything to me. But when you came into the world, everything changed; I changed.
I stopped putting myself first, everything I did was for you best interest, and your well being. I watched you, all these years, growing up into the woman I hoped you'd someday be. You're right, you are so much like your dad. But you have so much of me in you as well. You're stubbornness, and your brains. Your courage, and that great big heart. All of those, came from me.
You asked me for help, and I feel like there is nothing I can possibly do to help you. And I have to let you know how much that hurts. My heart is literally breaking, knowing that all of those years, I protected you... and now, when you need me the most.. I can't do a single thing.
But there is one thing I can do; and that's to love you unconditionally. And Laura, I do.. With all of my heart. You have to know that, and that no matter what happens, I won't stop.
Because you are my daughter.
Love,
Mom.
