Diary of A Lost Mother

‘My Darling Ambrose, Is that still your name? I hope so. To me, you will always be Ambrose…even if you aren’t mine anymore. Please understand, we’ve never truly been apart. I have kept a piece of my heart just for you, where I will treasure you always. I’d say it wasn’t easy, but truthfully it was – at least in some ways. I loved you, oh how I loved you; but that’s exactly what made it easier. I wanted you to have the world, and this was the only way to give it to you. Now, if it’s alright, I’d like to share mine with you. I’m not as young as I used to be – at least not on the outside. My friends say I’ll never slow down; I’ll just fade with the setting sun. I hope so – life is too short for ‘slow’. But I don’t want to fade. I want to leave my mark and I want you to know me. Maybe that’s selfish? I’m ok with it.’
