I will not call either my parents mom and dad because they do not deserve that title from me

Maybe what you did was for the best.

I will not call either my parents mom and dad because they do not deserve that title from me

My whole life I thought I wasn't good enough, or that you just didn't want me. I mean, how else are you supposed to feel when both of your parents chose drugs over you? I didn't know who you were until I was was 14, which I'm glad.

I can't imagine what my life would be like if I lived with you, or even knew you.

Could drugs really be more important than a child? It doesn't make sense to me.

How can someone think a 2 hour high is better than a lifetime of love from a child? Both of you missed out on everything, and you had the opportunity to go to every event possible: Watching me perform in the marching band, prom, awards ceremonies, my high school graduation, college, and you're going to miss out on more.

I will not call either my parents mom and dad because they do not deserve that title from me.

My sperm donor of a father will not walk me down the isle, nor will either of them attend the major life events to come.

You will not know your grandchildren.

Were the drugs really worth it?

The older I got I realized that what you've done has helped me improve tremendously.

If it wasn't for your actions, I wouldn't have grown up in such a great environment and I would have never turned into the woman I am today.

The day you gave me up was the best day of my life. And without you, I wouldn't truly know what drugs can do to people and why I will never follow in your footsteps.

I never formally thanked you, so thank you for giving up on me because that was the best thing you could do.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
