As we broke from our hug, I had a small tear sliding down my cheek. "You know, my whole life I've been sliding from one person to the next who didn't care about me. Some of them smiled. A small number of people meant those smiles, but they were still self centered."
I sighed as I bent my head back and looked at the cloudy sky. "I realized that life isn't all about focusing on oneself. It's important to have people that you can trust in- that you can invest in. People who make you really smile. People who have your back."
I smiled at them. "I love you both. I want you to be a part of my family. I want to focus on my people. I want to make a world where we can all survive this hell."
