To my special friends

[Mary Ann]

Dear special friend.
Please could you be my actual Mum? And your husband be my Dad. I want to be in your family so so much. I promise I won't be a nuisance or anything.
I want to live in your house and say it's my home. I want to tell people about my parents and it be you I'm talking about.
I want to be able say Mum and it's not a nasty word, cos I'm talking about you.
I really love you and I want you to like me.
I wish I could tell you this. I can't because you might be cross at me.
I'm not scared of you. I'm nervous  of my real Mum, because she's scary but I'm not scared of you.
Your the people who I'm most comfy with.
I wish I could have been born into your family and not mine.
   Lots of love and kisses
Mary-ann

How is heartbreak honestly expressed? Amazingly, from the heart. That's exactly what this letter says, and it does so well.

There's not a lot one can say, once one is past the tears and bitter anger. But this said it so well. Mary Ann ... Thank you!

I appreciate your expression of this.
