When I was
little, I thrived in the radiance of my parents love and acceptance. It was all I knew.
I went to school searching for even more love. Instead of acceptance, I found ridicule: too
short, four eyes, awkward, and shy. I withdrew.
I struggled to accept love from anyone but my
parents.
Sad and broken, my soul mate
found me loving me as I was. Children
arrived. I lost myself along
the way. Like a butterfly bursting from
its chrysalis, I emerged. In the end, I discovered the greatest love of all was inside me all along.
