My Mentors

Postby Obay Songwright » Sun Sep 02, 2012 9:30 pm

Let me regale the tale of my Amtgard mentors. These two individuals welcomed me on my first day, when we were still meeting at Carmichael Park. Without personal gain, they took my under their wing. They encouraged me to, above all else, have fun. They showed me the meaning of the type of family you choose, rather than be born into. When I was going through a rather horrible episode of depression, they maintained contact to be sure I was going to be alright even though I wasn't attending weekly meet-ups. There was no pressure to come back to the park until I was ready. When I finally returned, they acted as if nothing had changed. I know they have not been like this for just me. There have been uncountable numbers of people they have helped, mentored, and loved unconditionally. If you are curious as to the individuals I speak of, you need look no further than than Tamara and Collin. Thank you both for being my Amtgard family.

Gee, Obay... I do not know what to say. I am happy that I could be there, I know how hard it is to get through depression some times. You will always be a part of our family, and I will always be there to poke you and make sure you are still kicking.. OK, I have to get some tissue now. You have touched my heart... Thank you for being who you are.
