People can let us down and break our hearts.  We can’t make them understand how they have hurt us.

I know this to be true.

I wish she cared about my feelings and that she would filter her thoughts before speaking.  I wish she would think of others verses herself first so much of the time.   I wish she would call home to check on us not just when she needs something from us.

I wish she would appreciate how I always put her first and know that I deeply care about her happiness.  I wish she knew that the sacrifices I have made for her to have the best life possible speak volumes.

She lacks empathy, has a temper and is moody.  She makes me cry with her cruel words.   Yet; my heart breaks for the person I hoped she would grow up be who is she is.

Thanks for listening.
