You do not often realize what you are missing until you get it... I have lived my entire life under a convent, not having formal parents save for my adoptive father(Amore, papi.) But the last few weeks have highlighted what a joy family is, and how I have been without true kin. I did not even know I lacked a soul until lately. It was fine, but empty. Numb. Then this morning after a complex proceedure, I got the best hugs of my lifetime... And it was as if a dam burst behind my eyes. I feel so relieved now. You truly do not know what you are missing until it fills the emptiness of your heart. I pray you will find your lost happiness too, oui?
