I still can't believe it's been a decade since I last saw your face. These past 10 years have been rough on me. I wish that I had the energy to write you a longer letter and tell you how much I've truly missed you in the last 10 years, but I'm spent. I just want you to know that there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. I will always be grateful for the time I got to spend with you and for all the things that you taught me. I know that life was not easy on you and I admire you for never giving up and doing what you did for me and Esteban. I can only sit and admire you now and love you uncontrollably. You meant the world to me 10 years ago and you mean the world to me now. I know that in many ways I was not the perfect daughter and that I was a bratty teen but I hope that you know that despite the attitude and disrespect I loved you with all my heart. For as long as I live there will be a part of me missing and that is because it went with you. You are always in my thoughts and my heart. I love you! I never want to forget you and your memory, you will forever live in my heart. These past 10 years have been for you and I will continue to try for you. I promise to never give up. I miss you more than anyone can imagine and love you with all my heart.
Love,
Martita
