Mama, I know you care
I cherish your words
I know you have your reason
I am sorry that you hurt.

Leila, you are independent
You are beautifully strong
You have made me feel welcome
I feel like I belong.

I feel I’ve known you all my life
Even though we have just met
You mean the world to me already
I love you, Svet.
I am adopted and recently found my birth family.  It’s been a very emotional roller coaster.  I wrote this to try to process.  Anyway, it’s my mama, my oldest sister, Leila, and then the middle sister of us three, Svetlana.  They are all amazing and beautiful.  Lol still processing.  Also my name isn’t actually Masha, it is the name my birth mom gave to me.  I’m trying to have a connection with the name.  That is why it is my name on here.
