Stephen... I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am for every tear you cried because of me, every piece of you heart I've shattered, and every hug you missed because I was with you at that very moment. Just know I love you and I'm here and I believe in us. I'd do anything to make you smile again for me.

Dear Neal,

In my efforts to learn from my mistakes, improve in my personal development and be the best woman for you, I've been researching all morning in the ways where I continue to go wrong in the area of 'sorry'. I don't know why I continue to fall back on being defensive when you tell me that I've wronged you—its something that I recognize as a problem and I'm trying to work on. Bad habits are hard to break. A sincere apology is to be honest—make it simple, make it plain. So here it goes.

-I'm sorry for the hurt that I caused you by making you feel less important.

-I acknowledge that I hurt your feelings by not including you in my plans, making you feel like a third wheel with my friend, and making you feel that I wasn't concerned about you.

- I understand and recognize that it was because of my actions (or lack thereof) that upset you.

- I fully regret that my actions made you mad, caused your stomach illness, made you feel betrayed, and had you infuriated.

I do not take my role as your woman in your life lightly, and I am truly sorry that my actions made you feel betrayed. We confessed our love for each other, and it's something that I hold near to my heart. I want us to grow, and I understand that its instances like this where it causes a severe hindrance in our relationship. You feel like I don't understand you, that I don't get you. I am trying to get over my constant need to defend myself, and just need to make concessions to really hear you. Period.

I know that there are underlying issues that need to be addressed between the both of us, and I ask for your forgiveness for this issue, and all the other times I made you feel this way. I promise to make every effort not to make you feel this way again, to verbalize/ask questions and to not make assumptions about situations.

I want to make this work. I write this to you with humility in my heart, and striving to be the Psalms 31 woman you saw in me the first time we said 'I love you' to each other. I'm not perfect, but I'm trying hard to be better than prideful. I love you. Lisa Marie

My little girl, where are you, in gods care till you find your dad. You know I care about you every day, trying and trying to find a way.

Why can't I see you every day. Angels watch over you-meeting your needs. So close to god you are I see. I pray for you all the time. Wanting you near so I can hug you time after time.

All my life you are my wish, little feet and a tummy to squish. Why can't I see you every day. Jet black hair I love you so. Baby Baby I want you to know, Love is there all around.

My hope is strong-you will see. I love you my little girl. Why can't I see you every day. May Gods love keep you free I say.

Thank you and sorry are all I can say,
For giving me hope, day after day,
The world is yours take it and run.
All my headaches now rolled into 1.

You will some day get your 1st wish,
A thing to hug, hold and squish!
Call me anytime, you know where I am,
Over the seas, great southern land.

Prayers are for you, and family so,
The faith will spread and always grow
A hug for you, sent every day,
You're the one who took my tears away.

See this you will.
You cant miss it.
Live life by gods word.
Let's pray.

To my baby girl Thiviya,

I know very well that you don't like me talking about her and you don't like it when I even think about her. But just to make you happy, I talked about her to you, and that too in a very irritating way.

And I know very well that i have hurt you many time before by doing a lot of stupid things.

You really don't deserve to be treated this way.

Baby, I just want you to know that I truly am sorry about what I did today. Really, I am sorry. Please forgive me.

I really love you a lot and I want you to know that you are the only one I love and can ever love. Hope you accept my apology.

Love ya a lot baby. Hugs and Kisses.

To a gifted woman:

I've owed you an apology. I'm sorry that I gave you any reason to fear for your safety. It was wholly unintentional. For days, I couldn't conceive of what I had done that should have aroused such anger in you, and then in came to me. Here's what happened:

On that day last summer, the counter on your homepage registered an alarming number of hits. All of those were mine. My intention was to draw your attention to my homepage, where I had posted a message to you, a response to your final message to me. In my addled state, I saw myself as doing something akin to tossing pebbles at your window, hoping to draw you forth. While I held this naïve metaphor in my mind, I later came to realize that it must have seemed far more threatening to you, all of those hits coming from the faceless vastness of the Web. After seeing the messages I had posted on that other forum, I imagine that you reached the logical and reasonable conclusion that I had compromised your privacy. I promise you: I hadn't. Your personal safety was my paramount concern as I crafted my message. It was completely anonymous regarding the addressee. There was no way anyone could have connected you or your homepage to my message; I made sure of that.

Besides, the number of hits on my homepage remained unchanged from just prior to my posting that message until after I deleted it. No one saw it. The message itself was a maudlin mess in which I accepted what you had written, wished you well, and said that I hoped we'd still have occasion to talk as we had done previously. It was a muddle and it's for the best that I deleted it unread.

There's more from that time for which I need to apologize. I'm sorry for my intrusiveness and presumptuousness. I'm sorry for not respecting your boundaries. I had no right to behave as I had.

I'm also sorry if my avoiding you and, until very recently, complete silence led you to believe that I held any resentments or grudges against you. That wasn't the case at all. First, I assumed that I'd be the last person you'd want to see. Second, I just needed a time-out to sort through things for myself. It never occurred to me that you might have something further so say to me, or that you would have wanted me to explain my actions. I don't know if you do, but I want to acknowledge the possibility. I also acknowledge the possibility that this just doesn't matter to you, anymore.

So, that's it. I'm sorry for the hurt, fear, anger, and distress I had caused. You're one of the last people I'd ever want to hurt; I feel bad about how things were left. I continue to hold you in the highest regard. I've missed our conversations. I miss your light.

PS. I've taken some salsa classes. I'll be taking more.

To my Mother,

I am truly sorry for the lies I spoke for the ungreatfulness I showed and for the lack of Love I had in my heart towards you to never really apologize.

So this is me Mummy your Kiri Vavine saying I'm sorry. I know I am not your blood daughter but you are my Mother in every sense of the word. They say it only takes a minute to know someone an hour to like them and a day to Love them but a Lifetime to forget them. I've known and been with you more than a minute, more than an hour and more than a day so it's impossible for me to forget you, you are what I call my shelter in the storm.

Please forgive me Mum, take me back as your kiri, give me my chance with my sisters and brothers, let me show you I can be a faithful daughter to you. Without you in my Life Mum I am incomplete, without my sisters I am lost, and without my brothers I am not protected. I need you all back.

Michelle,

I realize you hate me now and you don't want anything to do with me anymore. I accept that. But before I go away for good, there are some things I really need to say. I'm not gonna go away bitter or mad, I'm just gonna let it go.

I'm sorry...

... for not giving you the space you wanted
... for not letting go when I should have
... for getting mad about little things that don't matter anymore
... for not taking your word for things
... for listening to what other people have said
... for being an ass to you and a jerk at times
... for jumping to conclusions before finding out the truth
... for being too pushy and invading your personal space
... for all the stupid mistakes I made that pushed you away
... for ending up complicating things
... for being difficult to be around
... for making you feel bad
... for not being able to be your friend
... for doing all the things that lost your trust in me

You had such a bad year and all the things you have had to go through and everything else I may have left out...

I will never forget you. I really needed someone like you around during the time that I met you, which was almost exactly a year ago. It's crazy to think that. I was going through a lot of emotional trauma during that period of time and being around you made me forget about all the bad stuff.

I had never met anyone like you before, I had never really met a girl who was a sweet as you were, a girl who was so unique and fun to be around and as beautiful as you were... that is why I fell so hard and so quickly, but I really regret not getting to know you real well and moving too fast.

It doesn't really make a lot of sense when I think back on everything. I guess I just didn't know how to handle things and I couldn't let go so easily. It was bad timing for both of us, and after you went away I didn't know how to deal with everything and I took out a lot of negative emotion on you, which was wrong. It was never your fault for feeling the way you did. All I ended up doing in the end was just complicating everything.

I'm not saying I am completely at fault, but I'm admitting my wrong doing. It may not mean anything to you now, but it means a lot to me for you to know this. I know I can't do anything more to change your mind, and I don't expect you to, but at least you really know how I feel, and I feel better for letting it out.

I wish nothing but the best for you, I hope you find someone who gets you and treats you with the respect you deserve, I really hope you find out what it is you really want, and know you will. I wish things didn't have to be this way, I will miss you, like I already have. I hope someday I'll find a good girl with your qualities. I haven't found anyone like that just yet. goodbye.
