I'm sorry, but this is something I have to do.
If you're reading this note then I'm probably long gone. I've wanted to tell you in person that I was leaving, but I could never find the right way to spark the conversation. Truly, I appreciate everything you've done for me. You made me feel like I belonged to an actual family when I had none to begin with, but I was never truly a part of your family. I wish I was from the bottom of my heart.
I've gone to find my parents, and maybe finally receive some answers as to who I am. Please don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Like you said, I'm pretty tough. You've done enough for me as it is. So please, I ask you not to come looking for me. It'll only cause me trouble, writing this note is hard for me to do.
Remember that no matter how far I travel, I'll always love you as if you were my family. I'm sorry I wasn't the best daughter I could have been.
Love,
Terri
