Me: Maverick
Maverick: What’s up?
Me: Have a seat.
Maverick: Did I do something?
Me: Nothing bad. Tell me one thing you’ve learned here.
Maverick: Learning to trust someone sure does make this world less scary.
Me: Anything else?
Maverick: That no matter how bad things can get things can turn around in an instant.
Me: Those are good things to learn. Anything else?
Maverick: I learned that I love you. Which then led me to love Jacqui, Eleanor, Dennis, and Bri. I even kind of love that one girl that came here a couple of times. I think her name was Jen?
Me: Funny you mention that. She kind of loves you too
Maverick: Really? Next thing you’re gonna say is that she wants to adopt me.
Me: Well….she kind of already did.
Maverick : Wait. So I have a mom? 😍😭
Me: You do, buddy.
Maverick: Will I see any of you again?
Me: I hope so but If not I know you will be living the life you deserve. Now let’s go get you ready. I’m going to miss you but I would rather miss you than feel bad for you. And where you’re going I will definitely not be feeling bad for you. Love you, my dude.
