Sammy got discharged today after a month and a half of a hospital stay. I hope he gets adopted and grows to be a good kid. It'll be such a shame if he went off on the wrong track because of all this.
I picked him up and carried him up and down the corridor. I told him to be a good boy and be kind and loving and not to let other people bully him (bully them back! Only if they're baddies though). He kissed me on the cheek and said, "I really like you."
I'm not crying. At all. -sobs-
