A Letter to Me
Dear Maryann,
Wow I never expected I would be asked to write a letter to myself, I always thought letters were for other people. Maryann you have been the foundation for your sisters as well as your self. You have had such a tough journey but have managed to pull through with a smile on. When you lost your mom at thirteen I know life seemed like it was ending but it was only the beginning, it has shown us you are a brave, intelligent and caring young woman. I remember the day when mom died like it was yesterday you had no idea what was going to happen; you were more concerned about the girls than yourself. You were forced to move into an abusive home where you were mentally and emotionally abused daily. You had an alcoholic father who didn’t give a rat’s ass, but you would turn around and tell your sisters life will get better. I know you strived to keep life as normal for you girls as possible even when you moved eight times in four years. Then you finally fought for your self you proved that you were determined to go to college and live a different life then you were brought into. You taught the girls everything they needed to know, you showed them to be independent and only rely on their selves. This was the key for you that they would be ready to be without you when you go away for college. When things were finally turning around for you, life was good you got accepted to college’s you seemed as though you knew you had the future in your hands. Life seemed perfect nothing else could possibly go wrong. But then it flips and someone had to take that all away from you. He crushed you right there on that cold January night in the mall parking lot, he tried to take away your dignity and self respect and self worth he wanted you to think you were worthless. I know you didn’t think life was worth it, I know you tried to kill your self but when it didn’t work you knew that you needed help and that you were worth getting the help. You got help
