Life hadn’t always been easy. My birth mom was a Blue Jays
fan. When I was old enough to understand her abandonment of me, I’d tell people
that as a seed, I was shot out the back end of a blue jay when, heedless, she flew over the meadow. She popped me out in an alley, behind a garbage bin, and
went on her merry way…without me.
Luckily, it was summer, and some kind passerby heard my
wails and found me. Social services took me in and found me one home after
another. Not too many couples could handle a drug addicted baby who never
stopped wailing. Eventually, my seed got planted in a garden full of nutrients
and sunlight, and I began to blossom.
Today, I’ve created my own seeds, and I’m growing them in my
garden while showering them with endless love.
