  • Mitchell "You'll
  • never
  • amount
  • to
  • anything." I'm
  • tired
  • of
  • hearing
  • my
  • grandmother's
  • voice
  • in
  • my
  • head.
  • I'm
  • ready
  • to
  • put
  • her
  • to
  • rest,
  • where
  • she
  • belongs.
  • She
  • might
  • have
  • raised
  • me
  • after
  • my
  • father
  • went
  • to
  • work
  • on
  • the
  • oil
  • rigs
  • and
  • left
  • me
  • behind,
  • but
  • she
  • sure
  • never
  • loved
  • me.
  • I'm
  • ready
  • to
  • prove
  • her
  • wrong. I
  • might
  • be
  • chubby,
  • dyslexic,
  • and
  • gay,
  • but
  • I
  • know
  • I'm
  • ready
  • to
  • leave
  • all
  • the
  • negativity
  • of
  • the
  • past
  • behind.
  • I'm
  • going
  • to
  • get
  • my
  • nursing
  • degree
  • and
  • then
  • build
  • a
  • family
  • of
  • my
  • own.
  • I'm
  • ignoring
  • my
  • dead
  • grandmother's
  • voice
  • and
  • forcing
  • my
  • feet
  • to
  • go
  • into
  • the
  • Mylos
  • Scholarship
  • Lottery
  • building
  • to
  • grab
  • my
  • piece
  • of
  • the
  • pie.Jolar When
  • I
  • get
  • the
  • call
  • that
  • my
  • match
  • has
  • been
  • found,
  • I'm
  • excited—my
  • adopted
  • son,
  • Neal,
  • not
  • so
  • much. "What
  • if
  • he
  • hates
  • me?"
  • he
  • asks
  • me,
  • his
  • six-year-old
  • face
  • filled
  • with
  • anxiety. I
  • know
  • this
  • is
  • impossible.
  • My
  • mate
  • could
  • only
  • be
  • a
  • perfect
  • match
  • if
  • he
  • were
  • also
  • perfect
  • for
  • the
  • young
  • that
  • would
  • be
  • ours.
  • But
  • Neal
  • is
  • afraid,
  • having
  • been
  • told
  • by
  • his
  • last
  • terrible
  • excuse
  • of
  • a
  • parent
  • that
  • he
  • was
  • unlovable. "You
  • know
  • I
  • love
  • you
  • to
  • the
  • ends
  • of
  • the
  • universe
  • and
  • beyond,
  • right?"
  • I
  • ask
  • Neal. "But
  • you're
  • Mylos
  • and
  • maybe
  • only
  • Mylos
  • like
  • me." My
  • heart
  • breaks,
  • knowing
  • there
  • is
  • nothing
  • for
  • it.
  • We
  • must
  • go
  • down
  • to
  • the
  • surface
  • and
  • meet
  • my
  • mate
  • together.
  • Today
  • is
  • the
  • day
  • our
  • family
  • grows.
  • Love
  • must
  • win.
  • Correction–love
  • will win.
