Forgiveness

a Gift From My Grandparents
Like her love, Mom's forgiveness was a tough forgiveness. It was years in the making. It had peaks and valleys. But Miya Mitsue had brought me to the journey's end. My heart was her home. She deserved room to grow, to be free, to smile. My mom's final gift to me was forgiveness. It was the hardest lesson she ever taught me. I was finally ready to let her go. Saying goodbye, really saying goodbye, is the hardest thing we humans do. We make stuff up--to avoid its searing pain. How very true.
