One would think that a note from your Mother, especially if you are an adult or close to it is something you would want to keep and treasure. Looking at used books in a second hand store I came across the note above written on the inside of a blank page.
I find it hard to guess, whether the receiver of the book was a know it all teen, who no longer has any use for anything from her overly controlling mother, or was it a forgotten memory from a caring Mother to her loving daughter....
There are worse finds in second had stores however, like finding and interesting wooden box, and realizing it holds ashes. Not one of my favorite finds. Generally, I buy the box of ashes, take them to somewhere peaceful and bury them, with a prayer or two.
Such is life, some relationships are treasured, others are scorned until some future aha moment, when the person wishes whey could take back all that time and do it over.
