parents
The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
A Letter to My 'Dad'
Dear Dad, I would like to thank you. Thank you for coming into my mom's life and making her so very happy. Thank you for staying despite how much I tested you. Thank you for being there for every happy and wonderful moment in my life. Thank you for being there when I have hit rock bottom and thought I couldn't continue. Thank you for believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself. Thank you for telling me when I have screwed up. Thank you for listening when I have needed a friend. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for being an amazing Pap Pap to Arianna and Alex. And most of all, thank you for loving us as though we are yours.

Because We Love You
When I was younger, I learned to be ashamed of everything. I was always “too nervous”, “too quiet”, too ME. At the time I never fully understood why I couldn’t sit still no matter how hard I willed myself to. I couldn’t concentrate in class, and that made me a bad child, because I would finish my workbooks before everyone else and doodle in my binder.

A New Life Was Created and Another Reborn
I had so much anger towards everyone and what I had been through. I felt like nobody wanted to hear my story. I never told anyone what he was doing to me. I let a monster get away with so many things. I always wondered, maybe I was the real monster. A monster of my feelings and my thoughts, my actions and my words. I was in self-destruct mode and I never thought I would get out of it. I was the master of my fate and I thought that he was all I would ever be worth. It took two years for me to realize my self worth was not all I thought it was worth. I deserved love and happiness, a chance to live my life free from control. I deserved all of this, but would it ever happen. I knew I had to change something and I was the only one that could make the change.
