I remember the day your mother had a

stroke.

I visited her at the hospital, but it was a

bad idea.

Once I left the room, you entered and

saw me there.

You looked exhausted.

because your birth mother didn't want

you doesn't mean my mother does!

Leave!"

I was rooted to the ground, shocked.

"I SAID LEAVE!"

I ran out of the hospital, tears

threatening to spill down my cheeks.

I didn't let them fall until I was at home

in my bed.

After that day I promised to never cry

over you ever again.

I was hell bent on keeping that

promise.
