I am From
May 8, 2017
I am from
Laughter behind bedroom doors
From sharing secrets in the shadows
And inside jokes with the power of earthquakes
I am from
Magical adventures with familiar faces
From crying rivers in movie theaters
And walls of stories built like shrines
I am from
Cribbage tournaments with only one survivor
From eating pie on paper plates
While watching never ending football games
I am from
Toe biting dogs with playful spirits
From red robin burgers to last a lifetime
And I am from home

Growing up I had a lot of support but I felt safest with my cousin Jenna who really allowed me to be myself and that has made all the difference. Thank you.
