Dear Son...
I am so sorry that you feel that you have to make a choice…
I believe your wife stated it best..."You are not entitled to anything and you are not owed anything"... " You gave that up....You cannot go back"...I am very much aware of that and I always have been... certainly I know that your wife and the children are your life...as they should be. I have always felt blessed to be part of that life…
I do not know you as well as your wife does...as well as your children do...as well as your Mom and Dad do...Your siblings ...Your wife's family...your friends....clearly anyone in your life. I truly regret that your wife feels that is what my behavior and actions have expressed...I do know depression and I am aware of how it effects those we love...I have never meant for her to take anything I said either as disrespectful...insulting or inappropriate...because certainly it was never thought of in that way at all...I will respect her wishes and not contact her…I will respect her wishes and not put any stress or drama in your lives…I wish only the best for all of you…
It truly hurts me to know that your or you think that I would take jewelry or anything for that matter from your home…It is not in my nature to do anything like that…
I wrote you a letter earlier this year where I declared my loyalty and devotion to you and your family...where I openly made the promises of a parent and grandparent to let you know that I can be relied on to do what I say I will do...to let you know that I will always be here for you and your family...and that you can put faith in me and confidence that I will always keep that promise...
I don't believe I can do much more than that right now…we all have the opportunity every day to go and create more of what our heart feels is missing…It may not be in the same circumstances or situations….but we can always have more love and experiences in our life. We can always make more memories…we can always create what we are waiting for…I hold on to the thought that better days are still ahead
You are SO LOVED...(as is your wife and children...oh yes, and the dog!)
Mom
