Do you remember the wedding card?
“Our thoughts are with you – now and in the days ahead. With sympathy”.
Good.
Do you remember, sometime in those years, when I sat with you in my mother’s kitchen and I said if my mother ever tried to write you out of the will and she predeceased you that Breandán and I would just give you the house. I knew I didn’t have to ask him because it wasn’t a question.
Do you remember saying I was like a daughter to you?
Are you proud of how you have lived your life?
You were an adult and made your own choices.
I think your children were unfair not to speak to you.
Marriages dissolve and they were adults.
You are a raging alcoholic and a damn coward.
And no, I do not forgive your actions towards me. Some things cannot be undone or said.
Remember all the things I was willing to do for you when I had nothing.
And how pitiful of an excuse for a man you are.
