Crystal

My girl...
Crystal
I chose your name
after a mountain.

It means
brilliantly pure.

You're my
first child
and I wanted
our relationship
to be perfect-
like most moms do.

I wasn't sure if
I could make
it
on my own,
but I had to.

I made mistakes
in the past
and I
admitted I was wrong

Life
doesn't always
make sense
at times,
but
everything happens
for a reason-
just like faith .

And I'm counting
on you to
remember me ,
develop patience
and strength
and believe.
