In the eyes of a Dreamer

first cut is the Deepest

 Once we got back to the house the rest of the girls were already there. I ran straight up to my room and pulled out a wooden box from under my bed. I opened the box, tracing my fingers along the edges of the wooden box. I carefully picked up an envelope that was laying in the middle of the box.

I carefully opened the envelope and pulled out the paper that was inside. My hands started to shake as I unfolded the paper and started to read it.

My dearest daughter. Words can not explain how hard it it is to have to let you go and know that you are going to grow up not knowing who your parents are. I wish it didn't have to be like this but it was for the best, we are only doing this to keep you safe. By the time you are old enough to read this we might already be gone. I wish that I could just hold you in my arms forever. I remember the day you were born. I promised that I would always protect you and that is what I am doing, even if it doesn't seem like it. I am only doing this because I love you and I want you to live a full life even if that means that I will not be a part of it. Never forget that I will always be in your heart.

~Love Mom
