This is for all my Ninangs and Ninongs.
For a long time I’ve always wanted to know who some of the people are in this picture. I mean yeah I can point out the obvious people who I see on a regular. But one long term goal of mine that no one knows is that one day I hope to find all these people in this photo and have them all in one place again, just to hang out get to know them, see where they are in life know. Some days I question my parents for why they gave me 16 godparents. I mean really I never met anyone who has had that many. And to be honest why would they but all my mom can say it that when your pregnant at such a young age all your friends are pretty much your godparents. Growing up I always had at least half of my godparents around, but it never felt enough. Not trying to be cliche but I felt like something was missing and I still do. But getting older gave me the ability to be smart and find some of them on my own, it was one of the biggest accomplishments for me to find them on my own since my parents had no clue of where they were. And I hope that as I keep growing I someday will find all of them. I know it’s hard for them having their own lives now and their own kids. I just wish I knew them and I wish they got to know me. But I know deep down they remember me and love me, just like how I love all of them. And just because 16 years have already passed doesn’t mean we can’t make up for lost times. I think about every single one of you all the time. And for those who I’m still searching for I hope one day we will be able to create a special bond with one another something I have been looking forward to my whole life.
I love all 16 of you Ninangs and Ninongs. I’ll never give up looking for you guys.
Love always,
Dylan Renee Francisco.
