Even though you're not physically here, I can still sense your presence. Its in the trees, the flowers, the air, heck, its even in the weeds. And I feel you in me, you make up an integral part of me. You helped me remember that I do matter. That I can do things to make the world a better place. Just this morning I turned in a wallet I found into the police station. I found it while walking around downtown last night. I left it by the car I thought it might have fallen out of originally, but no one picked it up. So I brought it home with me so I could turn it in. It made me sick knowing that someone was missing it. But I didn't want to just leave it for someone who wouldn't do the right thing. Always do the right thing, even if no one is watching.
I went to my first pride a few weeks ago. The excitement I felt may not have clearly shown on my face, but I was truly happy. I can't quite define just how much it meant to me.
