Wow, this is a beautiful poem. It really touched me. I have been through this, at first it's sad/hard/painfull, but good/happiness/strength and joy came at the end. I'm glad you felt that too. I loved the rythem to this peom, and i especially loved the line:
' I ironed out the creases'. It's really good. Great job! Please keep writing!

really good; it reminds me of me and my old friend.
