Answer 1

Dear Mom,

I know we don't always see eye to eye,
But I want you to know how much I value your support.
I am asking for a little more understanding,
And a lot more patience as we navigate our differences.

You are my rock, my constant,
But sometimes I feel like we are speaking different languages.
I need you to listen, really listen,
And try to see things from my perspective.

I love you more than words can express,
And I hope you know that even in our conflicts.
I am asking for a little grace,
And a lot of love as we work through our disagreements.

With love,
[Your Name]
