As a daughter

As a daughter I learned that I was so selfish as many children are.
I regret it more now because I wish I could have made my mother smile and laugh more instead of cry. When I left my mother at 13 years old, I hurt her so much.
I should have never left. I wish I was well behaved. She didn't deserve that.
Growing up I realized that I really didn't think of her feelings, so I learned a really hard lesson. A lesson of regret.
So many things I went through in my life, I know my mother had to go through them and worse. I wish I could tell her how much I love her and what a strong woman she was. I can't though because shes gone. I miss her so much.
I learned how to appreciate my mother.
