“We play the best hand we can. Sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose. I lost in the parent department, but I know it’s not my fault or theirs. Life can be hard and cruel. It can also be beautiful and magical if you let it. My sisters are my rocks. My friends are my sounding boards. You can’t miss something you never had, so I try to be thankful to my parents for giving me life. Thank them for doing the best they could, and never take anything or anyone for granted. We only get one life, Lochlan. That’s why we have to make it a good one.”
