I am so sorry for the way that I have treated you in the past.

For all the times I put you down … didn’t stand up for you, didn’t have faith in you.

I am sorry that I put you in harms way.

That I didn’t make better choices for you.

For all the emotional, physical and verbal abuse – I hope and I pray  that you can forgive me completely one day.

I feel I’ve earned back some trust – I know that  you feel the amends that I’m making and I will continue to make them.

Because I love you.

I know that you are capable and lovable and imperfectly enough.

I know that – because I’m you.
