who is to say which would have been a more desirable life after her death? i am grateful that my grandma and nana raised me because it has brought me a close understanding of my mother. had i been adopted by teresa and john, or any other couple, i may have bonded deeply with my new "parents", instead of gone inward to nourish my connection to caroline. i feel i belong in the branch of family i was brought up into. though the ones who housed and fed me through my developing years were not overly kind.
