I am a unique person. The colors I can paint are my own; even Da Vinci couldn't paint my picture. I've reached a high step on the stairs of my life. But, I needed a walker to get me there. In fact, I had 18 walkers help me up. With every step I took, each one of these 18 walkers gave a little piece of themselves to me. When these pieces are put together, I am created.

I am more than grateful, so much more than grateful it sometimes hurts my heart, for these special people in my life. I still have not reached where the stairs are meant to lead me. I look ahead, and I see a countless number of steps waiting for me. I can only hope that with every step I will take, these people will be here to guide me. Even if the bonds of friendship won't last very long, or if I move away from my family, they have given me this little something of themselves that will always be with--no, not with, but a part of me forever and ever and ever.
