“For Amelia is has been the toughest year of her 16 year existence. She has felt love hurt in so many ways. The love of a boyfriend and relationship changes with him. She has felt loss and heartache love for Daniel. She has seen and felt what mother-love is. She often reflects on how powerful her love is to a baby she didn’t even know a year ago. How his vulnerability has made that attachment so much stronger. She has felt love for her Dad in her very protective ways through the Democratic process of Prop 8. She also knows what it means to be a part of this family. The harsher lessons of allowing people to be who they are without judgement. The strains of change have left her heart a wide open wound. She continues to show her love for humanity through her work with the Invisible Children of Uganda Movement. We watch Amelia grow and know that she will find answers to some of the hardest questions in her own time. Questions about faith and humankind’s diversity will rest easier on her heart with age.”
…and she could definitely say it again.
I love you Amelia! Can’t wait to see you for the Holidays.
Mom
You’re lucky to have a mom who really gets you.
