Here
is the note I mentioned yesterday. It was created on the computer, printed out and left for John and I on the kitchen table
Dearest
Mom,
I know these past months have been
hard on
Dad
and you. I know that you’ve both been trying hard to
understand, and support my decision to drop
out of school.
I
know how tough it is for you to wake up everyday and
watch
your only son waste his days on the couch doing very
little
to make time useful. I need you to know that I am
grateful
for how much love and support you two provide for
me
and I promise that your time isn’t being wasted. It is
hard
to see now, but in the long run, in the big picture,
everything
will work out.
It’s
so terribly hard for me when you ask me such
simple
questions and I cannot give you a true, fair,
response.
You must think why is this kid doing this to
himself?
Why is he putting so much strain on us? The last
thing
I want is for you and Dad to be effected by my
actions.
I know that as my parents your job is to make
sure
that your family is healthy and happy. I assure you
that
everything will be fine and these bumps in the road
are only a minor set back. I wish I could
explain more and
clarify
things but there are too many missing pieces of the
puzzle right now. Take that as you may but try
not to
over-analyze.
Just know that this frustration and
confusion
will be put to rest very soon and we will all be
able
to get on with our lives.
Out
of the 21 years of my life I have never met a
person
more loving, more understanding, more patient, more
trusting
than you. I hope you know how much I love you and
you’ll
see, I will make you the proudest mother on earth.
Sincerely,
Andrew xoxo.
