Best Man

 

(excerpt only)

 

I couldn’t have known the day that kid came knocking on my door just how much he would bring to my life, and he couldn’t have known just how much I needed him to. He, having just moved into the neighborhood, was innocently looking for a playmate. And I, having just lost my mother, was in need of a savior. Along came Brian, and everything became bearable again. Everything became normal again. Childhood became childhood again.
