Chère maman...

This is a letter that would bring back the memories we had. I know that a lot of things have changed already. I am already a grownup and not the baby girl you used to cuddle. Even though things have changed, the memories we had before will never be over and done. It will always linger in my heart as long as I live. Before anything else Ma, let me now stroll down memory lane...

I can still remember those times when you arrive home late and the first person you will look for is me. My siblings used to label me the “spoiled brat” of our family because you always give me what I want and even if I was the bad girl, you always go to my side. I can still recall those times when you carry, hug, kiss, and pamper me. Of course, who would forget the big smile on your face when I graduated from Nursery? You were so proud back then because I received an award. Indeed, I was your favourite girl back then but I have a feeling I have become, at one point in time, your worst daughter. Are you still proud of me?

Time overlooked and I have matured. The Doyt-Doyt who used to hug and kiss you turned into someone who is less expressive and sweet. I lost your trust when I went out, told a lie, and went home very late. Not only that, my grades unsatisfied you and Papa. I know that I have disappointed you for numerous times already and I am really very sorry.

Sorry is not enough for all the things I have done that have hurt you... but Ma, I love you. I hope these three words are enough to let you know that even if time has passed; the little Doyt-Doyt is still her Mama’s favourite daughter. I may have grown a little taller and I may have learned to do bad deeds, but always remember that my heart never changed. You will always be inside of it and never be replaced.

Thanks Mama for taking care of me. You are one of the reasons why I have a strong faith with God.

I love you forever,
Doyt.
