<p>“I can’t imagine it any other way,” Gomez said then of the experience. “I remember being nervous, but as long as David [DeLuise] was there, I was like, ‘Okay, I’m good.’ At the beginning, I was like, ‘Well, I just don’t want a new family.’ I felt like I bonded with everyone. Little did I know that I ended up with everyone I needed to be in my life. I think I felt safe, and that’s a really hard thing for me to feel. I know that you guys love me for me. There’s not really... You guys genuinely loved me, and that’s all I could have asked for, the unconditional trust and bond we had, I miss so much.”</p>

<p>“I can’t begin to tell you guys without making it such a little cry session,” she added later. “I felt like I was the happiest I had been in my whole life, and I don’t want that to be a sad thought, because I’m really grateful and happy, but it was definitely the happiest times for me. I recognize that obviously, it’s because I have this different attention on me [now] that I just didn’t have then, and that was a really pure time, and I miss that.”</p>
