Accepted As Himself
He is thrilled; for he can tell he is being accepted and loved.
For who he is, for his whole self, for the real “him”.
It did not happen in his family.
It did not happen in his small home town.
But it has happened for him here.
It may be the first time he has ever felt unconditional love.
It is truly wonderful when the conditions are no longer around
To hold you back, or make you behave any way except wholly yourself.
Life is grand, and he is thrilled. Finally finding his tribe, and coming home.
