I love you and have always loved you. I tried to show you by my words and actions this love,
but realize I may have fallen short of this goal many times.

To the best of my ability, with the work of my body, the limits of my
mind, and the strengh of my soul, I tried to give you love,shelter and food. I tried to give you as much of my time as possible in this hectic, hurried world.
I tried to give you fun and laughter. I tried to give you the safety and protection you had a right to and I had a obligation to give.
I tried to let you know about life's unpleasantries without scaring you too much. I tried to give you as much trust as possible in an apparently untrusting world.

In all my breaths, my true intentions were never to hurt you or bring you any unnecessary pain.
I tried to be to you the best parent I could with the tools given to me. I want you to know that for any times I hurt you, disappointed you, or let you down, knowingly or unknowingly, I am sorry. I am sorry for my shortcomings and the mistakes I made that caused you any pain.For this I ask your forgiveness, only when and if you are willing to give it.

Thank you for the pleasures and treasures you've given me, both deserved and not. There has never been anything you have done that has taken away my unconditional love for you. Always and now, in my eyes, heart and soul, you are to me the most beautiful bud, the lovliest bloom, and the most perfect flower.

I have loved you from the day you were born... I love you with every breath you have taken...
I will love you forever.....................
