Today I am Sorry

I have nothing left to say but I am sorry and I love you.

I have tried but I am only human.  I am fallible.

And I'm so sorry.

For the hurt I've caused, for the anger and resentment, for the guilt and the shame, for harsh words and hurt feelings, I apologize.

I'm sorry I could not live up to expectations.

I am only human.

I have been wrong and will be again.

I have lost my temper and my patience.

I have been rude and unkind.

I have lied and made bad choices.

It doesn't mean I don't love you. It does mean I am human. 

Forgive me my failings. Offer me compassion. Love me anyways. 

For I am not perfect, I am human.

I am afraid and often lonely.  I am tired and overwhelmed.  I am sad and broken.

But I am doing my best. I am trying so hard.

I am sorry that my best isn't enough. I'm sorry that my efforts fall short. I am sorry I have disappointed you.

I am sorry. I miss you. And I still love you.
