You lost everything during the accident, and you almost lost your hand too.
And only now I think I truly understand how you had to struggle being only 3 years married, losing your soulmate and then having to take care of the little kid alone.
You did a good job Umi.
I hope you don't need people's approval for that.
I'm happy for the girl I grew up to be.
I'm not saying I'm good enough, but I'm happy and content for the person I am today and for the great things I have right now thanks to you.
Thank you for always tucking me in, thank you for never letting me miss a meal, thank you for not sleeping when I couldn't just to keep me company.
Thank you for accompanying me to swimming classes and scuba diving courses.
Thank you for even offering me to take the swimming classes when only now I could come to see that you had so little money that time but still had the guts to offer simply because you wanted me to be good at everything.
Thank you for being there for me all throughout the accident.
Thank you for being the best single parent there ever was. You're a real supermom.
You have no idea how much "I'm so proud of you" and "You turned out to be a fine lady" means to me Umi.
You've definitely raised me up to more than I can be.
I love you.
