I know this is gonna be hard on you, after all you gave life to me. This will affect you the most.

I can only imagine what went through your thoughts as a parent, from the time I was still in your womb until now.

Just like every parent you had hopes and dreams of what I would become. You promised to give me the best life, you can afford to offer.

You promised to give me what you never had, you wanted me to be successful in life. You wanted me to go to the best schools money can buy, to get an easy access to a university of my choice, and to choose a career of my choice, one that my heart is after.

You wanted me see me afford a car you could never afford, to buy myself a mansion, to travel the world, and finally settle down after living my life to the fullest.

Then you will meet my fiancé, who will soon after be my husband. Meet my two wonderful kids - and because of the genes in our family, it would be a boy and a girl.

The boy will inherit their father's looks but the girl will definitely look like my grandmother, who you took after, and I took my looks after you, so it's obvious that she will look like us.

My kids will grow, and you would be filled with pride as you watch what I have become in life, and finally die a happy woman.

Isn't that every mother's dream?

Unfortunately for us life never goes the way we want it to go. If you are reading this letter it means, I didn't reach the age of 17. I died whilst my life was just beginning, it means I didn't survive my fatal illness.

But it's okay mom, even if I didn't get to live the life you had wished I could live, I lived my best life.

I didn't live life recklessly, but I did live my life like it was my last day on earth, for me it's the best life I could live.

I touched many hearts, smiled a lot and giggled at every given chance.

I took life lightly but not for granted,I lived my life with the aspiration of happiness.

A wise woman once said to me " A bad day, is like a sad friend, you embrace her until she hugs you back. " So that's what I did, I embraced my life and chose happiness.

I knew that my death was coming soon but I didn't let that bother me, because I wanted to die a happy girl.

I know that this is hard on you, but I want you to know that, I was blessed to have you as my mother, my sister and friend.

I ask of you to not cry, but rejoice when you think of me. Remember those times we shared and smile, and know that I am in a better place.

I am proud to be your daughter, and to have been raised by a person like you. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

~Love ; your daughter

Honestly, I was done writing this book but a friend of mine (dontsleepontheboy) pushed me to post this.
