This family
taught me how to love
with my whole heart
without exception or condition
without ending or faltering
This family
taught me how to accept
those who are the same
those who are different
those who I can't even understand
This family
has always been here for me
no matter the circumstances
no matter my mistakes or faults
no matter how I change and grow
This family
will be a part of me forever
until the end of my life
until the end of time
until everything fades away
I love This Family
I accept This Family
I will be there for This Family
I will be a part of This Family
Forever

When I was sick
You'd whisk me away
To adventures with your friends
And make it a good day
There were lessons to learn
There was wisdom to teach
A world of simple joy
All within my reach
We bounced and trounced
We worried and pondered
We celebrated and whooped
We gazed and we wandered
I'll never forget those times
No, I wouldn't dare
All the adventures in your woods
Me and you, you silly old bear

You can fly o'er the mountains, fly o'er the sea
Little baby bird, won't you fly home to me
You can see all the flowers, you can see all the bees
Little baby bird, just come back home to me

From the moment I held you
I loved you with all my heart
I promised that I'd do my best
Even though I was so lost
Days turned into years
You changed so fast
The little boy I knew
Has grown into a young man
We may argue and yell
We so rarely agree
But that will never change
how much I love you
I see the best and worst of you
Holding you always in my heart
No matter how you change
I'll always love you, my baby boy
Now you're leaving me
Seeking a life you can't have here
It breaks my heart to see you go
But I know deep down, this is for the best
Thinking of what's best for you
Even when it doesn't include me
Rips out my heart
But that's what it means to be a parent
I'll always be there for you
I promise that now and forever
I know this won't be goodbye
Just the start of a new chapter
I hope this journey helps you grow
I hope you find what you're looking for
Know that I'll be here waiting for you
And loving you always, my baby boy

There are
no actions you can take
no choices you can make
no words you can say
no games you can play
That will invalidate how you feel
Even if you think you blew it
I won't give up, we can work through it
Give me time, give me space
Then let us talk face to face
And I will listen to how you feel
Your feelings are valid and important
I know how easy it is to forget it
I hope in time you come to see
How special you are to me
I care about you and how you feel

I know you think I don’t know you
That the version I see is a lie
That you can never change or grow
No matter how hard you try

I could always talk
as much as I wanted
so long as I pet you
while I did
You were always excited
the second I got home
and watched out the door
while you waited for me
In a lifetime of feeling cast out
I always had a place in your heart
Good or bad days, it didn't matter
You loved me just the same
I never had to be more
than just your human
And I never wanted you to be more
than just my dog

Me and Jai

Whatcha doing?
Can I help?
Well, can I sit with you then?
I want to be close to you
Who's your friend?
Can I snuggle with you two?
They must be a good person
So I want to be their friend too
Are you sick?
I'll stay close by
So I can be there for you
Because I want to help
I need to be involved
I always need to be close
So that you always know
How much I love you
Hey Grandma, whatcha doing?

When I got sick
You could tell
And sat with me
Until I felt better
When someone was hurt
You could tell
And kept an eye on them
In case they needed help
When I felt sad
You could tell
And gave me kisses
Until I smiled
When I needed you
You could tell
And you were there for me
Until the very end
Nurse Jai
