It has been ten days since that horrible night. Ten days since my world crumbled and my heart shattered into a million pieces. I have been unfaithful to you, Dear Journal. I knew if I opened you, it would be to spill the rest of my broken heart. It was so awful; I will never forget it as long as I live. It is fresh in my mind every waking hour. My mother was released from the hospital four days ago. I am not ready to see her yet. I am not ready to forgive her. Doesn’t she know how I feel about her? I pray God will help me forgive my mother. I pray she will get help and stay sober. Maybe then we can get together. I will let her know how I feel, about everything. And then maybe I can forgive her.
