Read, review and enjoy
Kate,
You've put up with so much, especially from me. Whilst William sat back and welcomed you into our family with open arms I refused to follow him and instead have caused as much trouble as possible. What you have to understand, and I'm sure you do, is that I love my dad. Only now do I see the pain he has caused mum. I turned a blind eye as she broke and had to rebuild herself and her life. All I really wanted was my parents to reunite and for our lives to go back to how they once were. I was wrong.
I love you, Kate; it will never be in the same way I that I love both of my parents but I do love you. I love you for the happiness and warmth you have bought into our lives, and the beautiful sister you have given William and I. I love you for the stability and security you have given us. Most of all I love you for accepting me; this challenging and irritating boy, and never giving up.
When I catch the way mum looks at you, and you at mum, I really start to understand what love is. You love each other with such intensity that I know you will see your lives out together. All I've ever really wanted for Ma is for her to be so happy she longs for nothing else.
I suppose what this letter is really meant to say is thank you; thank you Kate for being you. Thank you for loving my Ma without boundaries and without questions. Don't ever change, we all love you.
Lawrence.
