Hello, you.
You came right out of left-field, you know? Cos when we got the green light to adopt, we planned on taking on a much younger child.
And then Geoff saw your photo, you peaking out from underneath that god-awful ski-hat you used to wear, remember? And then the first time we saw you, sat drawing away like you did, head-down we knew then that you were for us.
Before we even met? Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Your dad, he said that it looked like the world had already forgotten about you, and he wasn't gonna let that happen.
And we might not be biology, Franky Jesus, you try telling that to my heart.
You are hope.
