My parents were murdered when I was eight. I was there when it happened. It was... [He takes a slow breath.] It felt like my whole life was just falling apart and I had no idea what was going to happen or where I was supposed to go or how I was supposed to live without the two most important people in my life.
But I got lucky, because someone was there that night who knew what it was like to have their parents taken away from them.

I would have been alone and lost, with no idea what I was supposed to do with my life.
Instead, I got a family. They've helped me become the person I am today and I can't thank them enough for it. I've had an amazing life, even if it's not always sunshine and rainbows, and I love my family more then anything.
... I'll always miss my parents. That hurt never goes away, and there isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about them and wish I could talk to them just one more time, but I...

I wouldn't trade what I have now for the world.
[... Oh crap. Didn't mean to say any of that out loud, to everyone. Fuck you, floods. :|]
