| “ | If I didn't have either of you for a family, I would not have survived the horrors the unnatural can bring. Some people choose to see the ugliness in this world, the disarray; but I choose to see the beauty, to believe there is...a balance to our days, a purpose. I know things will work out the way they're meant to. That is why I am staying. Because you two taking me in, raising me as if I were your own...that is a prime example of what is good in the world. I love you both for it. | „ |
