To my daughter

I'm sorry I failed you
I'm really sorry that I don't see how.
Maybe I loved you too much
And it suffocated you
Maybe I Overprotected you

Maybe I believed in you too much
And my belief pressured you to
hide your flaws, mistakes or anything that you thought didn't live up what my eyes saw.

I'm sorry that even though you have been very clear with your accusations,
I can't truly apologize for any of the things that you say I did to hurt you because I don't see them.

I still try to find any trace of truth in the things you say but I can't. I've prayed over and over for God to reveal them to me as truths so that I can own up to them and help you heal but he has not.

What I see is a life that was one hundred percent devoted to you. A life where every decision was made with your best interest in mind, where you were always first. A life where yes, mistakes were made and things were hard at times but never lacked in love, support and encouragement.

Looking back there's not much I would've done differently. For that, I am sorry because it obviously was not what you needed.
I'm sorry I failed you. I'm really sorry that I still don't see how.
