Come here for a minute, well it might take longer than that, but come here.
I want to tell you something. I want to tell you every truth I’ve ever known about me. Every truth and every lie, all the things that I’ve never told anyone before; I want to tell you.
I want to show you something. The scar on my elbow and I'll tell how I got it, the one on my shoulder that no one's seen before. I want to show you the cut that I got on my heart that someone else put there when they left me behind. I want to show you the person I am who not many people have had the chance to meet. Hold my hand, hold me close; listen to everything I have to say, look at me, see me and stay right here… Right here …right here next to me when I’m done sharing and stay…
I’m really lucky, no blessed to have the family that I have right now. I have a wonderful relationship with my birth father and that will always be the case. I just wanted to take this moment to say how grateful I am for my adopted family. I love them so much, and for all the love they have given me, and support they have bestowed upon me… I can’t imagine who I would be without them. I just love them all… my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents…. They are part of my world. It’s a nice feeling … love of a family.
