Dear Mother I am sorry
For all that I've done.
I've used your love, your money, and your home
Without bothering to apologize or thank you for it all.
And now you are weeping and I feel ashamed
For using you and abusing you in the most horrible way.
You gave birth to my every existence
And to that, all your children are grateful.
I see you are aging but this cancer is a terrible thing,
It's even worse knowing that your children and I have caused it.
We're trying our hardest to take it all back,
Make you all better so we don't have to worry anymore,
And hopefully make your eyes shine brighter than they have before.
I hope that's a good enough apology for you.

Love, the rest of us
