I've been accepted into a family that is not my own. Not under false pretenses, but under the idea that they care about me and want me to see better days than I have. Perhaps it's a bit of a stretch to truly consider them my family, but undoubtedly I would be seeing worse days if it weren't for them.
I feel a bit sad that I can't see the Okada family everyday, or even that often. However, their compassion for me has lessened the ceaseless grief that I experienced in my solitude.
It's slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Maybe these micro-miracles can be enough to satiate me. Who knows? Only time will tell, at this point.
Things are looking up now, but I'm still a bit sad. You can't have everything, though, can you?
Look on it from another side: if you have everything NOW, what shall admire you tommorow? Everything goes in it's time, isn't it?
