"Sam love Mike." Sammy said sleepily. "I love you too Sammy." I kissed her forehead and left as she fell asleep. Seán, Signe and I went down stairs to say goodbye and thank you to John. This time was different, I was more emotional this time. 'Was it because the twins were adopted last week? I asked myself. No I already said my farewells to them. Why am I crying? Why is it so hard to say goodbye this time? I'll be back, right? I'm always back.... this time isn't any different.....right? I stopped asking my self questions and started releasing that maybe this time I wouldn't be coming back. I walked over to John and gave him a hug as a tear ran down my face and on to his shoulder. "Hey buddy, it's ok.' John said wile He held me. 'I don't think you are coming back this time Mike..... I'm so happy you found a family. We are going to miss you , me and Sammy. Come visit us ok?" John said his voice cracking. "I will John, thank you for everything you have done for me. I'll miss you guys. Good bye John." I said as I left his arms. I picked up my small bag of things and walked over to Seán and Signe. "You ready to go home kiddo?" Seán asked with a tissue up his nose. Signe and I giggled. "Ya, I'm ready." I said, as we headed to the door I thought about how mutch I'm going to miss John and Sammy. John has been the father figure in my life since I was 4. I remember when I first got here. it was a year after my parents died in that fire. When my parents died I was being baby sat by Naomi and when she got the call about the fire, she took me back to her house and took care of me. Since she was 17 she was almost legal age to adopt me, she has bean taking care of me since I was an infant so she was more of a mom then my biological mother was. This is because my parents had so many businesses trips and they couldn't take me. Apparently They didn't have time for there own son because he was too much of a bother for them and took up too much valuable time. Naomi lived alone in a small apartment ,with one room a bathroom and a kitchen, since her parents kicked her out of the house for being bisexual. Naomi was going to adopt me as soon as she turned 18 but sadly before she could the doctors found a tumour in her hart. It turned out to be hart cancer, she died one week before her 18th birthday and I was a 4 year old orphan with no one to look after me. I miss Naomi, I miss her a lot. After Naomi died the couple that lived next door took me to The police station so they could put me in the orphanage system so I could fine a family to adopt me. The police men made some calls and took me to Johns orphanage. John introduced himself and took me up to the room I would be sleeping in for the next 7 years. I remember how it looked so run down on the outside and like one of those houses in a horror movies. But the inside it was the total opposite. it was nice and bright, the walls were a pail yellow colour with hand prints of all the kids that lived here and the trim was bright purple. I started to remembering how it got that way. I remember I was 9 years old and Sam had just turned 2, and Sam wanted to paint but we ran out of papers so we started painting the walls with the only colour we could find. A bright purple ,that looked very exciting on the walls now that Im thinking about it, and when John came down the stairs and just started laughing. He wasn't mad at all, instead he sat down beside us and started painting the trim. It was so much fun, it's my favourite memory with John and Sammy. I was going to miss this old building with its nerow  stair cace and creaking steps. Seán opened the door for me and Signe and I walked into my new life.
