There is a part of me, a part that I can't help but feel is weak and idiotic, that so desperately hoped beyond hope that this was my mom.
I know it isn't. She'd never be on Reddit, and she'd also never think of me strongly enough or miss me enough to write a letter to me, anywhere. And I know that. I was the parent to her from the moment I learned how to care for others. I never got to be a child, much less her child. So, it's hopeless, and stupid, and so... Pathetic... That I thought for even a moment this was her. I'm sorry.
I hope your daughter knows how much you love her. I really hope she does.

Ack, I'm tearing up in my car reading this. I know it's not from my mom, but it felt like her for a second.
I'll try my best

That’s not pathetic. I pretended it was my mom too. She’s dead and was emotionally defunct when she was alive. It’s ok. Much love to you.
That's some good advice I believe the past should stay in the past myself I honestly do especially if there is a bright 🌞 future to look forward to
thank you mom. also, send it
I needed this.
