Since I was little I realized that I was different from my older sister she had light skin and eyes like my dad mine was darker I always wanted to look like him he was my example my mom was very loving she took care of us and took care of us with love she had long hair and light skin like my sister as I grew up I noticed that I did not look like them I am not stupid, but at first I did not give it importance.

My doubts were growing there is always the reckless person who arrives at the party my aunt Ramona who has a tongue that God save her and had had a few too many drinks and says that boy is not your son he does not look like you 馃槺馃槺 my doubt began to take shape and I thought 馃馃 could it be that I am adopted I started to cry 馃槶馃槶 it was the first time that I was affected by being different.

One time my sister and I had a fight, well we always did it over something silly, then she yelled at me, you are adopted, my mom and dad picked you up in the garbage, that really hurt, I ran out of the room crying 馃槶馃槶 and I asked my mom, "Mom, am I adopted? She hugged me and told me you are my son I let my dad come home from work and we talked those were the longest hours of my life.

At last my dad arrived I felt that my heart was going to burst out of my mouth even though I was only 8 years old, they were moments of anguish I didn't want to hear what I already imagined I heard my mom calling me after she was locked in the room with my dad the first thing they told me was you know we love you we are all nervous but I think the time has come to talk to you and tell you that your sister is right you are adopted but I didn't get you in the trash she made that up to hurt you.

Let me explain I did not have you in my belly you came into my life when you were only 8 months old your real parents were neighbors of our house who had a car accident on their way home from work and passed away how you were left alone we decided to take care of you until a relative came to take care of you and look for you we waited a long time and no one ever came so dad and I who love you decided to adopt you you are my son even though I did not carry you in my belly I love you just like your sister.

When you grow up if you want you can look for your relatives and meet them but you are and always will be my son no matter the color of your skin we are one family I always remember that day I cried like never before 馃槶馃槶 God gave me a wonderful family that loves me it is possible that at some point I will want to know more about my real parents and grandparents but for now I am happy with parents that love me just like my sister who is their real daughter although also when I grow up I may want to know my origin for now I am happy with mom and dad although I am different.

Happy weekend bye bye bye until next time
