I can't believe you're a martyr, my beautiful mother. I wish I were with you. And I wish I had hugged you tighter and longer and kissed you before you were taken from me. Forgive me for all mistakes I have made. I love you.
You couldn’t see but I have learned 20 syllables. I learned how to read and write. This is my first letter to you. I wish you could have been with me when I learned 20 syllables. I miss and love you.”
