I wish my introduction to this family would have been better. I remember the judgment in several looks I was given. Coming from a dysfunctional family my eagerness to fit in was great and difficult. When I first came to your home I didn’t know what to expect. But you and your home were warm and inviting. I felt accepted and welcome. To me home had been a feeling of….. when you are young it was a place you couldn’t wait to leave and when you are grown and gone a place you were desperate to get back to. Over time and with some hard work I came to realize that I was surrounded by a big and loving family and this was home.
I want you to know that being welcome in your home was a beginning of a connection that I have made with this family and what I live for. I have been and always will be ready to return to any home you invite me to.
Your loving friend,
Garland
