Gotta say … this “dream life” looks pretty disgusting.

Why does every one of these kinds of videos look like they take place in a drug den or crack house?

I’ve seen more sanitary houses on HOARDERS.

From the FWA archives!

Yesterday the boy I rescued from Syria in 2017 got his Australian passport. He’s now officially a citizen, and finally – FINALLY! – free!

We’re coming up on the 10-year anniversary of when he, at 18, first reached out to me on this site when it was just starting. I was just a stranger online. I digitally took his hand … and I never let go.

I couldn’t.

The subsequent journey we took over the last 10 years defies not just “the odds”, but also description. Nights and days of sheer terror and near-death experiences, all punctuated by moments of laughter and triumph.

And love. Beyond everything else, purest love.

Buoyed by hope and rescued by miracles, that boy and I faced a world of nations aligned against us together … and eventually we won!

My boy’s life is now better than either of us ever imagined could be possible. He’s grown confident and trusting, with a great job and unstoppable goals.

But I never imagined what would happen to me. As a faggot, I had no chance to have a child of my own.

Instead, I was given a son to love and protect. I emptied myself completely and devoted all I have to him. Every penny, and every teardrop. I would give more if I could summon it. I think any parent understands what I mean.

That passport represents the culmination of 10 years of impossible dreams coming true because a little lost boy trusted me, and I loved him too much to give up.

In two months I’ll be free from my own exile, but it only means one thing for me: that I’ll be able to hug my son once more and see the world we conquered together!

Finally, at last, together!

I love you, kiddo! Always & Forever! ❤️+❤️
