Dear mom,
I know I should have written this letter long back. I am not sure if reading this will be of any consolation to you but writing this is a huge relief to me. You always said its better late than never so here I am, unburdening the load to you.
Mom, now that I am a mother I understand your pain only too well. Yes, your little girl is now a mother and that makes you a grandmother. I wish there was a way I could tell you this any other way. Now that I am in your shoes I understand only too well how heart broken I must have left you and how disappointed you must be in me. But I was too young to understand anything. Too much was happening too fast around me. I was confused. I had no idea what to believe and who to trust. I guess that was where I failed. Being your daughter I should have trusted you, I should have kept my faith in you. I should have known, evidence or no evidence, my mother could never harm anyone, let alone kill our father. Everything and everyone around influenced me to the core and so much that I condemn you guilty before the court did.
Mom, I so wish I could turn back time to the moment when you looked at me with those tear filled eyes, hoping I would understand and rudely I turned my back on you. I know it was that very moment you gave up fighting for yourself. Now that I am in your shoes I understand how much it must have hurt you. Now that I am in your place, I know you would never do anything that will hurt your kids. Now that I am a mother too, I know a mother can never be wrong.
For so long you must have suffered more because of me than of the accusation. I was not there when the court sentenced you, but now I wish I should have been there with you. I should have stood by you instead I ran away.
Mom, I don't know if you killed father or it was all circumstantial. I don't know if you are innocent or guilty. All I know is that you are my mother and I love you. I just hope you will be able to forgive me after all you have been through because of me. I hope you do. I will be there to see you soon with your grand-daughter. I love you and always will.
love
your daughter.
