To our ARC family, 

Though we are not of your blood,
You welcome us with open hearts,
And make this land feel like home.

The birthday surprise was thoughtful & grand,
Planned with hearts that truly care and stand.
Keeping us out, but showing your cheer,
A memory we’ll treasure, that'll always be near.

Thank you, dear ARC Family,
For making our hearts feel at home and aglow,
For showing us that even far from our own,
We are never truly alone......

With love,
GB
