Thank You

I just wanted to say thank you.

I came here and you welcomed me with open arms

You took me in, let me sit next to the fire and gave me a smile I could never forget.

You told me your deepest fears, the most horrific times of your life

You told me in trust, you told me with love.

You listened to me, you heard my story, you heard my troubles.

I told you with trust, I told you with love.

We sat together. I took your hand, You held my shoulders, and we hugged.

We cried together, we smiled together, and we laughed together.

We became lifelong friends.

You gave me hope, even when despair would cover me in darkness.

You inspired me to see that there is always a light, it will shine even in the darkest corners of my fears.

You gave me comfort when my pain was unbearable.

You helped me walk, even when I could not talk a step

You helped me up when I fell

You showed me I have a family, a family of thousands.

Thank you, my friends, my family.

For you welcomed me with open arms.
