Dear Mom,
I'm sorry for all those time I must have drove you nuts. I'm sorry for all the dirty looks I gave you when you told me something I didn't want to hear. I'm sorry for all the times I repeatedly asked you for new clothes.
I'm sorry I frowned at the supper you put on the table. I'm sorry all my socks and underwear rarely made it to the laundry basket. I'm sorry I didn't lift the knick-knacks off the shelf and actually dust underneath them.
I'm sorry I never thanked you for the toothpaste in the bathroom. I'm sorry clean dishes in the cabinet went unappreciated. I'm sorry I didn't take better care of the bedroom that was provided.
And for all those other seemingly unimportant things that I never thanked you for... things like electric lights, flushing toilets, and a working furnace... well, I'm sorry I never fully understood that those things didn't just magically happen. Like the money tree out back that I thought you just didn't want me to know about. I'm sorry I thought you lied.
You must have always thought, "One day she'll understand. One day she'll get it." Or maybe you had your doubts, "That girl will never have a clue." Well, I get it, Mom, and I'm sorry.
Love,
Your Daughter
P.S. And tell Dad I'm sorry for thinking he really did want to ruin my life by checking my grade cards and keeping tabs on me around town. I guess he knew what he was doing afterall, too.

I can tell you are a mom...one day your kids will find out what you now know..and they will be telling you they are sorry..
Sorry but this brought laughter tonight instead of tears.
Guess you are hiding that money tree from the kids, huh.
And by the way..apology accepted..
Love you
Mom
