Thank you
Mum,
I don't really know what I can say except...thank you.
Ever since I've awoken in this life, you've been there for me. And mum, I know I haven't been the one who's always been there for people, but I want you to know just how much you mean to me.
I can be cold and...nasty at times, but you, you've persisted through it all, determined in your knowledge I was just scared. You were right though, all along. And I love you for not giving up on me, for seeing something in me. For that, I will always be grateful.
Even now, after I've treated Bella so harshly, you're still there for me, and in a way, that's your way of guilt tripping me, but, if I wasn't made to feel the guilt, I wouldn't be becoming the better person you so want me to be.
You've taught me so much in what seems such a useless life, but now, as I look back, I've realised that without you, anybody, I wouldn't have become who I am today.
It sounds funny, doesn't it? You having to hear me going on about how undeserving I am, but that is something I need to tell you about mum.
I woke to this life shallow and blind to the people around me. The people who were there for me were treated despicably by me; Carlisle especially. But you, despite my harsh behaviour, were determined to get to my softer side.
And you did.
Your story, your amazingly difficult and brave story, has made me see clearer than ever. You gave me a wakeup call and although it was sudden, I still thank you to this day for doing that for me. After all, I know how difficult it must have been for you to tell me that.
I can't begin to fathom how much work you've put into me, both you and Carlisle. Sometimes though I know it can seem that work came to nothing. Trust me though, it did. I'm a better person because of you and that is something that cannot be forgotten very easily.
I will never forget the things you've taught me, and Esme, I will always be in debt to you.
I can't think of any other way of repaying you, than asking you this...
...If you ever need me I will always be there for you. You may not believe that I think of you as a mother, but Esme, rid yourself of that doubt. You're my mother, you always were, even when I didn't voice it, and you always will be. Your wisdom and strength inspires me. Your love for this family will never cease to amaze me.
You've taught me how to love and how to live, and mum, I will always be in debt for your kindness.
You're grateful daughter,
Rosalie.

A/N – Another one-shot! I just keep getting little snippets of ideas. I've always believed Rosalie would think highly of Esme because of the similar paths their lives took.
I think though, because of her fear of being vulnerable, she never really gets a chance to tell Esme how she really feels about her.
