I loved reading this short story. I would love to see this story line become a longer story with hearing how he becomes part of the family and the troubles faced. Even would love to see more where Neil is found and has survived to make something of his self. Even thou I love reading these types of stories, it is very emotional to me. I often tell my partner that if I would ever be able to have the money, I would build a huge home and take in some of those that have been discarded because the families can't look past their religion and upbringing. I wish I could be involved in their lives to help them grow into the person that will be more then what they think they could be. Maybe someday those lottery numbers will hit and I can fulfill a dream of mine and others that don't realize that they have a dream without knowing it. Great work Crafting Mom.. Loved your past work and this one too.. Mike
