Welcome to my world! This is a candid view into the intimate and delicate facets of my orphaned life. These experiences stemming from my abandonment; permanent biological disconnection; drugged institutionalization and adoption may haunt me at times, but they also humbly empower and rejuvenate my soul.

Mother's Day

With Mother’s Day almost here, I find myself in conflict. I spoil my mother with gifts, give a card and usually see her for hugs. It’s a day I genuinely look forward to show my mother (adoptive) how much I care and appreciate her.

On the other hand, I find myself thinking about my biological mother. I wonder if she is thinking of me and what she is doing. I wonder so much this day; I wonder what she looks like; what her voice sounds like; I wonder if she has bad vision like me; I wonder if she has other children. ..then of course I wonder about my siblings. I wonder if I have met her, met any siblings or other family. 

I find myself staring at families and remarking on the physical similarities.

I find myself trying to guess what she is thinking of and perceives of this day. I shared one mother’s day in her womb, and missed out on the last 31. I appreciate the life my mother has given me and I suppose that is just something I will quietly thank her for.
