I was 17 years old. I grew up living in foster homes, never staying at one place more than a few months. I was staying with the Groods family, They were actually pretty nice unlike many of my other homes. It was the night before my 18th birthday, I was walking home late at night after coming home from a party. I could see this woman across the street she was absolutely gorgeous, she had to be some kind of model. It looked like she was following me , but I thought I was just being crazy. I had gotten to the part where I have to cut through woods to get to my home, I saw her turn to come through the same path as me, was she actually following me? I continued further down the path when all of a sudden she appeared in front of me! I freaked out, But she quickly calmed me down. Something about her was soothing. She said her name was Aphrodite, The Greek Goddess of Love. She explained to me that due to new rules forced on the gods by Zeus, she wasn’t allowed to see her children. I asked her what that had to do with me. She said that She was my mom! I smiled, I mean the daughter of the goddess of love? Now that was cool. She said she didnt have much time and that I would be experiencing changes on my 18th birthday. I asked her what she meant when all of a sudden she dissapeared again.
