My Name Is John Merrick ...

Today was quite wonderful.  My day went very well with Dr. Treves, we went out for ice cream and waffles. Not too many people stare at me anymore. I think people are finally beginning to understand that my physical attributes have nothing to do with who i really am. I loved when Dr. Treves took me to the opera. It was marvelous and exciting. It was such a distinct opportunity for me and it was quite remarkable. I appreciate Ms. Kendall making me feel welcome and dedicating the whole show to me it was a really nice gesture. Also Dr. Treves has been incredible towards me. He never makes me feel like a freak and he makes me feel sort of normal. I know that i wont ever be completely normal but it makes me feel better to feel somewhat accepted into society. i really just want to be normal and i hope someday people will accept me for who i am. until then this is be John Mmmmerrick.
