An Open Book

Regret,

My mom is told by the doctors that she is going to die in the next few years. I have one thing I haven't told her. When I was six our neighbor would molest me and through the years. We didn't move until I was nine and by then he was raping me. I don't think I will ever be able to tell her,I'm ashamed of what she would think of me. I don't want to regret for the rest of my life never telling her. This secret has engulfed me and I can't seem to get rid of it.
