Aiden's Charity

Dedication:

For Tony, because you made me who I am.

You gave me freedom, yet held me with velvet chains of the heart.

You gave me love and taught me that nothing, not even emotion, is perfect.

You gave me conflict and made me search for solutions.

You made me strong.

You gave me the strength to search within myself to find my own peace.

You made me listen to the voices, and in listening, made me see my inner person.

You gave me the time, and the strength to reach out for my dream.

And in doing so, you gave me the gift of acceptance.
