Disneyland from a 26 yr olds Eyes

For many, going to Disneyland is going to a theme park to just have fun, have a few laughs on the rides and take pictures with Mickey. To me, it is so much more. I look past the fact that Disneyland was made for children and that it's a theme park and that yes it was made with the intentions to have fun. The first time I went to Disneyland, in my memory of a 3 yr old that is, I vividly remember my biological father being on a ride with me, holding me in his arms, knowing my mother was near by watching me some how and I knew I was happy with out really knowing what was happening around me. After that, I turned 4 and every time I'd go to Disneyland, it was just my mother and I. My mother always made me feel protected and I always thought it would be her and me against the world. The happiest moments of my life were at Disneyland as a child. As the years passed, my mom met my dad and they married, and the visits to Disneyland became less and less.
It was 2006 the last time I had gone to Disneyland, I had turned 18 and my graduation present was going to Disneyland. That day, I remembered how much that place meant to me, or at least the memories I had from it. In a way, it reminds me of how close my mom and I used to be and how through the years we have kind of grown apart and how much I miss hanging out with my mom.
Unfortunately, it still isn't that great of a relationship, hers and mine, so for a long time I had been hoping to go back to the place where I forget that and step into a memory of the past. A day where I get to be a kid again and remember how happy I used to be. This time around, I can't say I'm not happy because I found my boyfriend. Better yet I feel God sent him to me. I know a lot of people don't believe in praying to God and asking with all of their heart. He may not answer right away but he answers. I had prayed so hard, for him to take my pain away last April, May, June, July and then it got a little easier. Around September, he sent someone who made me happy again and I got to share Disneyland with him and now I can add him to my memories which I thank God for everyday.
