I’m from the scent of my mom’s freshly baked chocolate chip cookies,

I’m from all the baked goods my mom bakes for Christmas,

I am from the taste of hot spicy food I ate and didn’t like,

I am from my old swing set where I used to act like a monkey and never got hurt,

I am from my Frankenstein baby which I had to sleep with every night,

I am from all the stuffed animals I had to sleep with at night,

I am from the late nights staying up and talking with my best friend,

I am from all the long talks I have had with my mother,

I am from all the love I get from my family,

I am from the love I got from my cat Spunky,

I am from the phrase "You can do anything you set your mind on" my grandpa always said,

I am from the words "Daddy loves you Amanda and will see you soon",

I am from all the love, pain, hope, and confusion.
