Dear Lucief
It is common for many people in your situation to have guilt feelings.
I know I did when we were living in Nova Scotia and my mother (near the end of her life) was in Ontario. She had my sister and a whole team of people looking after her.
What helped me deal with my guilt was the knowledge of how much my mother loved me and only wanted what was best for me.
She always had sacrificed her own best interests for what was best for her children.
She knew that I had responsibilities to tend to, with my own family and my job.
To honour her unconditional and unlimited love, I have dedicated my life to begin the kind of parent that she was to me.
I know that as I write this, she is looking down, smiling and saying, "You always were a good boy."
