She Told Me to Forget Her — But a Year Later, the Truth Changed Everything

I visited every week. We read old letters together. She told me what I looked like as a baby, even though she had only held me once. We drank tea. We watched old movies. We just existed—mother and child, at last.

And when she passed, I held her hand and told her the truth.

“You were always my mother. You just had to find the courage to be her again.”

Love Doesn’t Disappear — It Just Waits

Now, I keep the letters in a box of my own.

Sometimes I reread them. Not because I need to relive the pain, but because they remind me that love, even when it’s hidden, doesn’t vanish.

It waits.

Sometimes, for decades.

And sometimes, all it takes is a knock at the door for everything to change.
