Lauren,
You are entitled to stay mad, that is okay. Hopefully, we can work through it. I am not. I am hugely dissappointed that things have turned out the way they have. I look forward to your accomplishing what you need to get through this year of school. I know it will take a lot of work, but this is what I was trying so desperately to tell you all along. I understand your social life is extremely important to you right now, but I think even you will admit, you were leaving your other responsibilities behind, just so you COULD be social. Lauren, I will always be your mom. No one can EVER take that away from us. It is fact. As I told you last night, I will ALWAYS be there for you no matter what. Nothing so bad can ever cause me NOT to be there for you. You are my daughter, my first born and my love for you is boundless. Please know that forever. I hope to see you when you are up for Andrew's b-day on Friday. I would like to give you a hug....
Forever your,
Mom
