OD to my Birth Mother

Dear Birth mom,
Thank you for being my birth mom
though I sometimes question my existence
I've never questioned my love for you.
You gave me up to have a better life

I'm sorry It didn't go exactly as planned
but it’s not your fault.
You wanted me to be loved
and I am

The family I'm with is not the ones who made your wish for me come true
No, It's the ones who protected me against them.
My friends

My friends are my family
they gave me the love you hoped Id have
Though the strongest love I'll ever know is yours
Without you, I would never know what love means
What family means
What life means

So even though you may not have changed my diapers
and held me through my nightmares
You raised me.
You taught me the greatest lessons of all.

So Dear MOM,
I love you too.
