through this journey we are on; one that started much later in life than most,

you have held my hand showed me and taught me so much never giving up on me. 

always trying to reinforce a positive self image and showing me that love is real

love doesn’t hurt, scream, or make one feel useless; I thank you for doing this

Now is the time I want to say to you, that while I may have seemed a bit spacey

even flighty at times; I Heard you when you were speaking, I was listening and even though

it didn’t seem like it was registering it was.  I didn’t put it to good use at the time, but you will be

happy to know I have finally started.  just like before a little later in life than most, but I wanted you to know;

how thankful I am you accepted me into your life to love as I accepted you into my heart to LOVE forever!
