What I Want for New Year’s

For New Years I want a closer walk with God. I want to love my cats and my God-dog KoKo more each day. I want to have a good relationship with my customers, my true friends.

The one thing I want the most of all is to mend this crack in my heart. Since you are my friend, maybe you can help me out. My mother is up in age and I think she is a little senile. I don’t think she has much longer. Regardless of the way she has has treated me I love her unconditionally. During my drug addiction I did things I am not proud of and did not turn out to be the daughter she wanted to me to be. One of my relatives has convinced my mother I have not changed. She is keeping a wall between us. She and my mother had a falling out too, but her son is very dear to my mother and he’s taking care of my mother’s legal affairs. My relative is using her son to keep that wall between my mom and I. She wants to make sure it is she who receives the inheritance after my mother dies.

I don’t care about any of the material things. I just want my mom to know I’ve changed. I want her love and approval. That’s my New Years prayer.
