The Boy

Migraine since Sunday of 2 weeks ago, 2 days of reprieve, now back with a vengeance. Its all in my head, MRI only showed some calcium scarring in the pain region.

+++++

A new boy arrived today. Such a shame I look like a one eyed bandit. He seems like a nice boy, even though he has a bracelet attached to his ankle.

A year, plus more ago, his caseworker wanted me to take him. I told her no, was holding that space for Ruben. The boy was sinced placed with his older brother, but the brother went to prison last month, he was then sent to another foster home.

He truly is a sweet kid. You can't but help like him....and feel sorry for him.

His mother passed away several years ago, due to neglect and hospital error. Then a while later he and his father were driving to meet with an attorney so as to sue the hospital, and they had a car accident on the way to the meeting. The father died and he, the boy, was revived from death in the helicopter, while being transported to the hospital. After that he was sent to live with his aunt, but she died last year from cancer. Hence the communication between me and his caseworker.

The Judge has taken a great interest in him. The boy goes to the same church as the judge and the Judge will sometimes bring him back and forth from church.

The Judge made a complaint to the agency and demanded he be moved. Said the place was filthy and didn't want him living there any longer. They then had the boy pack his things up and he was brought here.

I know the Judge won't find this place disgusting....he's been here before because of another boy I had.
