I am from family, 
Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters and foster babies who giggle and make me smile.  
valuing love and acceptance.

I am from traditions,
Picking out a 6” tall, pointy Christmas tree with Mom and Dad, Easter egg hunts in Grandma’s backyard and apple picking with my cousins at Elegant farmer…  
being joyful and and full of happiness.  

I am from teddy bears, blankets and books,
Goodnight Moon, Winnie the Pooh and getting tucked in every night before bed…
Mom and dad love me like the morning sunrise.  

I am from encouragement,
“Stay Positive,” “You can do it,” “Never give up.”  
Cherishing motivation. 

I am from personality, adventure and compassion,
Dancing with my sister in the kitchen and playing hide n’ go seek with Grandpa outside…
being crazy and laughing until we cry.

I am from family,
People who not only make me smile and laugh, but teach me that it is important to show love and accept difference.
