To my daughter.
I am so sorry that I never got you a stinking Barbie Dream House. It was just too big to fit into our apartment back then and it was lots of money that we did not have.
To my son
Sorry that I ever bought you that Bee Bee gun. I know all the boys had one and I succumbed to the pressure but you used it irresponsibly and it goes down as one of the worst decisions that I have ever made as a parent.
To my dad
Sorry that I stole that .75 cents from your dresser when I was twelve. Its all I needed to get into the movies with my friends that day and its kind of your fault because you told me that I could go if I could come up with the money.
To my mom
Sorry that I really hated everything that you ever sewed for me but you would always made the dresses way too long and in awful prints that I hated. You got back at me though when you cut my bangs way too short and crooked . Wow did it take a long time for me to look normal again.
To Reggie, Jake, Al, Ollie and Tanya, my cat and dog kids
Sorry that I had to put you down when it was your time You all seemed to be suffering so I needed to make the really hard decision to say goodbye. Still miss you all.
Lastly I am sorry for always saying I'm sorry when it wasn't even my fault. Its my Catholic, Italian, guilt that kicks in. I can't help it, its in my DNA.

you made me smile, i thought i wouldn't laugh today but you did it!
ReplyDeletegreat apology.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom made most of close growing up too. I'm betting that really weren't too long...I remember rolling up skirts after leaving the house. Not that it did any good, teachers at school would make us unroll them anyway. lol
ReplyDeleteI hated trying things on though when she sewed. And now, I miss her and all the wonderful things she made me, including my wedding dress.
