I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for when I was too little or too much. 

I’m sorry for all the times I did not see you, when I was too self-involved or not present enough. 

I’m sorry for the times I didn’t listen well enough.

I’m sorry for when I listened, but still couldn’t hear you. 

I’m sorry for all the times I got it wrong. 

I’m sorry for all the times I may have been right, but it shouldn’t have mattered. 

I’m sorry I wasn’t always there when you needed me. 

I’m sorry for when I projected my truths onto you. 

I’m sorry I worked so hard when you were little.

I‘m sorry I didn’t always value myself enough to show you how you could value you. 

I’m sorry I yelled at you when I was angry with myself.

I’m sorry for when I told you what I should have shown you. 

I’m sorry I hurt you. 

I’m sorry I hurt me. 

I’m sorry. 

I am.

I did what I could. 

I know that’s enough. 

And now I can do better. 

P.S. This is an apology to me as much as it is to you.
