My Best Gift
This gift cannot be bought in any store. It does not have a price. It has a heart that opened its arms to me. Opened its arms when it didn't have to. This gift accepted me as its own, and continues to love me despite the lack of blood relation. It makes me feel safe and warm. It looks on me with care and affection. One of my platonic soulmates is a part of it; someone who is as close as a sibling. It gave me a home. This gift is something that cannot be replaced. They're my extended family.
