As far as I was concerned, I already had one mother; I did not need another. My dream was that my mother would decide she wanted to be with men again, but obviously that dream did not come true. My grandfathers and uncles did the best they could when it came to spending time with me and doing all the daddy-daughter stuff, but it was not the same as having a full-time father, and I knew it. It always felt secondhand.
Growing up without the presence of a man in my home damaged me
personally. All I wanted from the time I was a little girl was a normal
family. When I graduated high school, my thoughts were not entirely
where they needed to be. While my friends were excited about college, a
piece of me was missing, and I knew I would never feel whole until I
found it.
