You and I have been friends long enough to know how to treat each other . . . I'm leaving for college. I think I've outgrown the rules.

They had pulled me from the hemorrhaging, dying body of my mother and turned me over to the care of the man who was not my father. He had taken me home to their tiny apartment above the old hardware store and done what little he knew to take care of me. It took less than six weeks for him to realize his mistake. Maybe even less than six hours, but he never abandoned me. He clung to me as though I was the last remnant of some great and powerful love. And that gave me hope that maybe my mother was really something else and not just some girl who got knocked up by a guy whose name she didn__ even know. She was something special, someone worthy of a man__ loyalty and devotion.--Rocky Evans
