My Name is John Merrick

I have never been this happy. I finally have a home; Dr. Treves has officially let me stay in the hospital. They are going to care for me. They even got me a dressing case, I can't believe how kind he's being. I am in absolute disbelief. The care I'm being shown here has truly made up for some of the time that I spent in the Freak Show with Mr. Bytes. I am beginning to feel like a human being and enjoying being treated like a person and not an animal. While they said they will not cure me, I appreciate all the time they are taking to care for me. I am in bad shape and I wish I could apologize for the tears that I caused on that nurse. But she scared me as well; I just want to be normal and experience the love I've never had. I haven't told this to anybody, but as soon as I finish building my church, I plan to finally sleep like a normal human being. I am so happy and I think this will work. Maybe I can be reunited with my mother in Heaven. . . .

I hope Night Porter doesn't return. Yet I have a feeling that he will and I don't want to worry Dr. Treves with this since I fear it will only make the situation worse. 

Hoping for things to get better and grateful for the beautiful things in life.
-John Merrick
