I don't remember you, but I can see a clear resemblance in your picture. We met once on a January morning almost 49 years ago today. You gave me life, then you gave me away. I spent my life feeling as if I had been thrown away like a bag of trash. After all; if my own Mother didn't want me, who else would? I always felt unloved, unwanted, and I was unable to trust anyone. I hated you my entire life. After years of looking, I found a connection to my past. I found two brothers. The talks that I had with them made me see everything in a different light. I felt grateful to you. I wanted to come meet you on my birthday last year, but you passed before I could. I want you to know that I was adopted and raised by the 2 most wonderful people on the Earth. I could not have asked for better parents. Although I have struggled since my teen years, their love kept me safe. (Sometimes from myself). They gave me everything I needed, and many of the things I wanted. They taught me what Unconditional Love is. I don't know if you ever thought of me, but I want you to know I think of you. Thank you for giving me life, and a chance for a life you could not provide. I hope you are at rest. Maybe we'll meet again somewhere... someday.
