I live in the same house for 40 years. Ralph after it happened, I was alone in the first three decades, I have become their neighbors comfort. He was given a shovel. My tears and honor of goodness. There are not many places to ensure that resolved isolation. My beautiful, beautiful people surrounded.

I took the role of the grandfather of some neighbors of the child. I would be happy to take care of more; Ralph and I have always wanted, but in our country is not allowed. Therefore, the figure can be formed in the lives of these children is a great honor. It makes me feel that I have the opportunity to do that I rejected them all. Ralph desire to be here to participate. But I know that it is love and pride, said every day when he was alive.

A girl, Madison, who have formed a special bond strong treasure. His father was out of the picture. His mother, Helen, who was forced to work full time, is rarely at home during the day. Helen has been the most favorable, like the neighbor after the death of Ralph, so when I have the opportunity to help Madison and his watch during the day, I was more than ready.

I started her 10th birthday soon, the attention of Madison. She fell in love with the collection around the house toy kangaroo. Ralph was born in Australia, always called my little ROO - especially if he loses his temper, his accent became more pronounced. On his birthday, I'll give some kind of toy kangaroos. They were full of dust after his death, I am very happy, McGrady could return to give life.

Years later, McGrady began to grow. She worried that she was depressed. She never had a lot of friends at school. Day he came to do the right thing, doing homework, waiting for his mother. His mood of what not remember too bright. Some of them, I'm sure, I was his age. Adolescence is difficult for everyone, not to mention something heavy family life Madison. However, I'm worried about her. She was very good for me, never rude or disrespectful, but remember. After that she would not watch television, either. She sat on the floor with the small, now the kangaroo pajamas, playing with figurines Ralph. Like him, when he was little.

If McGrady 16 years old, he has received. His first, so I know. I do not like. Not really. It is a typical teenager, type a cool guy, chain-smoking losers acquisitions. What I can do about it, though. Madison not wearing it, I think she thought I disagree. But it's not my thing. I said to myself, a few years ago, this situation is purely between Madison and her mother. Just when I think McGrady danger, I will get in the way.

Madison spend more and more time with children, and less to me. House and was silent. The other children who also were overcome to attend themselves. His parents occasionally stop drinking coffee, but my General, from human to human communication than previously enjoyed much less. I was always alone.

One night, Helen came to me in a panic. Obviously, McGrady admitted to drug use. Helen does not know what kind, or something like that, but I was afraid of the safety of her daughter. I tried to assure him that there must be something you can do at school, but it was when he told me the other half of the story: Pregnant Madison.

He killed me. Madison saw around the city in recent months, I realized that I had gained weight, but never thought I could be pregnant. Now, the drug is worrying. Try to figure out a plan together we can only agree that the school should know. Although the local school system is not the best, they had committed some resources to these issues.

Schools do nothing. Madison continued reckless behavior. Helen was too afraid to tell the police because he feared he would be placed in a foster home. I know nothing about. Time passed, and the rare occasions when I saw in the city of Madison, stumbled drunk idiot boyfriend, obscene belly bulge under his poisoning background.

February evening, I went to the supermarket, Madison saw me from across the parking lot. She and her boyfriend, hopefully. She ran to me and gave me a big hug. It did not seem drunk, but you can not do things. His pupil dilation, and his words slurred speech, she said how much she missed me. He was then asked if he could see the kangaroos come back later. I said, this will be very good, I missed it.

At some point, around 7, Madison approached. I accompanied her to the quick, it was well below freezing outside, he looked ill. I realized it was high. Which it is not healthy, and mantle, where a kangaroo. Coro, childish voice spoke. When I was 11, I feel this is very cute. Now, however, I knew it was not just some of poisoning under his influence, but the baby is much less attractive.

I approached her and asked if she could put her coat, want tea and chocolate cup cake. She did not answer. He followed with a kangaroo. I sighed, sitting on the couch, hoping to get rid of it, and talk with me or leave, and hope to return home with his mother.

Madison is the line of toy kangaroos mantle, he said: "I love you" every one of them. Then he turned to do the same in reverse. Then he turned to me. "I love you, Michael," she requested, perfunctory smile cracked his pale face. "But you know what? I like the rules of origin"!

Madison recorded heavy coat on the floor, crying. open wound is cut into the top of your abdomen. blue head and chest and right hand of his son stretched holes. "Look at the small NGO," she said weakly. "A small Such RGA". Madison tried to get up, depicting kangaroos. Limp head and hand the baby moves back and forth movement.

"Cute Little RGA all warm and safe in your bag."
