Ever since my car accident and the recovery process of my international roommate, I have been desperately trying to lighten up the burdens of my heart and forgive myself at having caused the injury of another. Her mother came up from Mexico to look after her in a handicap dormitory, while I, in the mean time, have mutilated myself with guilty thoughts about not being able to offer my former roommate more help and support.

When I woke up this Mothers' Day morning I realized that I just needed to thank her mother for being there where I couldn't and apologize one last time. I wrote her a nice thank you card for Mothers' Day and attached it to a flower pot with a false carnation and bathworks. When I left it by the door, I felt like I had left behind a much heavier load behind me. Now, I feel like I can truly say that that part of my conscience is healed.

(All I have to do now is work on the forgiveness between my dad for wrecking the car.)

thats very good of u. Most people wouldn't even realize it and they'd be blaming themselves forever. You've done what alot of others themselves cannot do. Congrats, it takes alot of strength and courage to forgive yourself and let go of that guilt.
