Tietam Brown (2007)
“Man, they were impressive. Sure, it was only on television, but as I sat in the Delanors’ cozy living room, I could almost feel the heat as blast after blast illuminated the July sky in honor of our country’s independence. And when Mr. Delanor put his arm around me and patted me on the back, I felt for the first time in a long time that I really belonged.The Delanors weren’t my first foster parents since the death of the DelGrattos, but they were the first to act as if they actually liked havin...g me around—indeed, during the spring and early summer of 1977, I will dare say that they seemed to love it.Little Rachel had been adopted almost immediately following her parents’ death. She was kind of like a blue-chip prospect. I, on the other hand, was like the last kid picked in gym class when it came to choosing up sides. It could have been the useless hand. It could have been the missing ear. Or maybe, just maybe, it could have been that nagging stigma of having single-handedly wiped out my last family.So when the Delanors pointed to me on their visit to the Petersburg Home for Boys, I pretty much felt like I’d hit the lottery.Mrs.MoreLess
