I want one more day of Pride.
July 1: Found Family Day.
Because I canât remember the exact date I felt accepted.
I canât remember the first words I said to my husbandâ
only that, for the first time, I felt like Iâd made a real friend.
Life gave me found familyâso Iâm giving it a day.
July 1.
Because having pride and finding your people is #1.
Spend the day with me.
I donât write these stories to get noticed.
I write to find family.
Found Family Day is for anything that made you a better person.
Itâs for the day you pulled a kitten off the highwayâ
even if you never knew their birthday,
or the name of the road.
Itâs for those of us who didnât get a DNA matchâ
who had to go out and build something better.
Like that kitten.
Like me, hearing my husbandâs voice for the first time.
And if you love young Felix,
I will write him for your children.
