And I'll Never Forget What They Taught Me
I knew the day would come that I'd have to say goodbye to Cosmo and Wanda. They explained this to me before, I just didn't think it would come so soon.
They were like my parents, they were my parents. They took care of me better than my parents ever did. They paid attention to me, the made sure I had what I needed, they made sure I had fun. I came to them with all of my problems and good news. I didn't know what I would ever do without them.
But I'm 18 years old now and I'm surviving without them. I know that one day I'll forget about them completely as all kids with fairy godparents do. It makes me sad, but I'm still happy because I had the best childhood a kid could ask for because of them.
They taught me so many things, but the one thing that will always stay by me is the meaning of true love that I learned from them. I learned how a man and woman in love are supposed to treat each other: with compassion and love and affection. Nothing like what I would have grown up with otherwise. I'd had no role model for what love was supposed to be. I might have ended up being unhappy myself one day.
I know to find someone like Cosmo. Someone fun-loving and kind. A man who will stop at nothing to make me happy. Who's always showing me affection and who cares for me and wants to make me happy from the bottom of his heart. I would settle for nothing less.
I'm going to be like Wanda. Compassionate and patient, loving and nurturing. Showing him how important he is to me in everything that I do and refusing to let anything ever come between us.
That was exactly what they were and that's how I'll always remember them.
