Born and raised with love and attention, I was once fearless.

Yet, it took me twenty years to learn that unconditional love outside the family is a rare find.

However, the love I received has already become a part of me, continuously restoring my shattered and fragmented parts back to wholeness.

My family is the source of courage and strength whenever I need it.

Though nothing is perfect, in my family’s eyes, I am. Therefore I am.

Because I know you will always love me, I can love myself.
