You Were Mine
By: Brittany Schroeder (In Honor Of Mother's Day)
My heart shattered
I was incomplete
A part of me was missing
A part that was only meant to be temporary
I felt guilty
I felt broken
I felt confused
I felt as though my world was crumbling
I would have put you first
Made sure you were cared for
And had everything you could ever need
I would have given you the world
You existed and disappeared
All in the same moment
I grieved for you
Something I never thought I wanted
I loved you so much
I still do
You were mine
Even if only for a second

Rest in peace my angel
I'm so sorry
That I didn't know

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
