You.

The Kid You Raised

 

To my family, my partner, my tiny circle of friends,

 

This is me, the kid, the teenager or now the adult who you raised.

 

This is just to show you some sort of appreciation.

 

This is just to let you know that, if I am here. You did a lot to bring me here.

 

You either know me all my life, 25, 15, 10, 5 or 2 years.

 

Whether I told you or not, you are one of the main reasons why I am here. You did it.

 

It is because of you that I have dreams, in a way or another. I want to be like you.

 

Why? Because, you taught me that you were told that you cannot. You did!

 

& you know what? I am doing it.

 

Why am I doing it? Because, one way or another you taught me 1 thing.

 

You taught me that WE CAN DO IT.

 

& for that, I thank you!!!

 

Sincerely,

 

The kid you raised, Gregory Grullart.
