A letter to: My mother (Bernice)

This letter is 1 part of a series of letters I would like to write to people I love or treasure in my life, whether it is to say thank you or even to catch up. My first letter goes to my biological mother Bernice.
Dear mom,
I’m doing great and will always remember you and with everything I do, I wonder what it would have been like if you were still here. I still remember the day you passed, whether it was the morning or the evening before.
Mom, you left way too early, I was only 9 and I remember we were wrapping my school books with you, I even remember the dinner we had the night before you passed. When you left I was confused and I only cried when they laid you to rest in your grave. A while after you left I blamed everything that ‘went wrong’ on you leaving, but as time went by I grew wiser and made peace with you not coming back.
I have grown a lot since then, told everyone about you and like any teenager had and sometimes still have a list of questions and things I would have liked you to answer for me. They’ll just have to wait until I see you again, in the meantime, I hope I have been ding you proud so far J.
There is never a day that goes by without me thinking about you wondering what we would be doing night now, probably washing your car hey? I used to enjoy helping you J. Mom, I really hope you are resting peacefully and that I’ll continue making you proud.
Hope this letter reaches you, I miss you still,
Love. . .your only daughter
Dhonaye
