Mami, te quiero mucho. Pero la cosa es, aunque yo te amo demasiado, quisiera que fueras mejor madre. Eres mejor ahora, pero porque no fuiste mejor antes? Porque me hisiste tanto daño cuando era pequeña? Me has dañado permanentemente, y ahora soy una persona que no puede gritar sin llorar. …
Thank you, and I love you
You’ve taught me everything. I don’t really think I’ve appreciated you enough. As I’m getting older, I’m realizing everything you’ve done for me, and I don’t think I could ever repay you. You’ve taught me how to be independent, and you’ve also taught me how to become …
