Dear Mom,

It's been so long. I stopped counting the days you've been gone. I miss you so much. I know that you have problems, but mom I know you can heal. You did it many, many times before. I believe the last time I saw you I was maybe 14? It's been almost three years. The last time I heard your voice was about 6 months ago. Mommy, I want to see you. I want you to see me and how much I've changed. I'm about to be 17. You missed most of my birthdays including my 16th. I wished you were there because I didn't have a good 16th birthday. My guardian a.k.a my cousin  is raising me well but, I feel lost and sad here. Mommy I miss you...We miss you. Me, Rhashida and Wymon. I think I miss you the most though. I don't know. I'm trying to stay strong for them because, I am the oldest. They are fine by the way. Their fathers are taking good care of them. Anyway mom, you know what. I'm gonna end with this note. I Love you mom. You have to fight! I know you can do it.

Love, Lovevett
