Non Oblitus

Tonight, I found myself. I remembered who I am… or who I used to be. I remembered that I was strong. I was a fighter. I was a survivor. I was steel. I'd bend, but I would never break. Tonight, I remembered that I am my father's daughter. And I don't need someone, anyone... to lift me up, to carry me, to save me. I can lift myself up. I can overcome anything. I can save myself. I am my father's daughter. Non Oblitus… Not forgotten. Our family crest, our motto, our creed. It is what he believed. What he lived and it is what I honour. What I won't ever forget. is that I am strong. I am a fighter. I am a survivor. I am steel. I'll bend but I won't ever break. And I don't need saving. I can save myself, thank you. Non Oblitus... Not forgotten, that to my innermost core, I am…my father's daughter.
