the need to betray me. Fond memories to still remain though.

The third man to show me love is the one I go to sleep with every night as I have done for almost seven years now. This man showers me with love, and I feel it just thinking of him. Our journey has been arduous at times, but his love has always given me the strength to carry on. L, though much older than I, has helped to polish the person I am today. I believe our journey together will continue for many years to come.

There are still more gifts of love to go. These are the ones my daughters provide; the gifts of overwhelming love and joy, the one gift I never thought I would have; the love of a child. Their little faces show it, and their cries of indignation echo it. It is the never-ending gift of love from a child.

Well, my friend, the end of my journey into the love for me is near, but I have to back track for a minute and return to my B.M.

This person who had been out of my life for fourteen years came back into it. She had never stopped loving me and now I have the love of two mothers. My Birth Father (B.F.) also came into my life, and while he sadly passed away in 2006, he loved me too, even though I was practically a stranger to him. These two people, though not together since before I was born, gave me another six siblings between them, all of whom love me as only a sibling can.

So, you see, I am very much loved and if I ever feel alone, I just need to think of all these people and know that I am not alone.

Love has turned my world and has truly been the greatest gift anyone has given me.

Just one more thing, the second best gift I have received is the gift of writing, so I can show the world how much love there is in me because of the people, past and present, in my life.
