My Dreams

I am living the dream. I dreamed for thirty-two years that I’d talk. I dreamed I’d have a group of friends to laugh with. I dreamed I’d have a best girlfriend to share secrets with. I dreamed I’d find love. I dreamed I’d say to my parents, “I love you.” I dreamed I’d be able to learn. I dreamed I’d make the world a better place somehow. I dreamed I’d somehow matter. 

Believe me, no one is more shocked than me to find out that all these things are really possible. I get so teary when I think that just a few months ago, none of them were possible. I can’t believe it still. Giving it thought, I haven’t yet fully absorbed it. My entire world has changed. Hallmark moment:  I am so happy that ironically, there are no words.
