I wrote this for my birth mom's Christmas present, well part of her present. To Dawn with Love.


Mom,

You carried me as far as you could, you gave me life and hope.
You gave me away when you knew that I could have something better.
You followed God and for that I am grateful.
Since I found out I was adopted at the age of 8, I wondered a million things.
I waited as patiently as I could until the day I turned 18.
Now that I’ve found you, please know that you didn’t do wrong by giving me away, and that there’s no need to be forgiven.
I don’t regret having two families and I know that I’m lucky in that sense.
I suppose I just miss getting to be near you, getting to know you better, and getting to see my sister.
I want you to know that you mean so much to me and I am ever so thankful that you have made me, well me.
I have always kept a part of you with me, in my heart, in my mind, and now in my life.
You mean so very much to me and I would never turn you away.
