" If my heart was a house ,
you'd be home. "
Even since he was young, all Tommy wanted was to have some consistency in his life. He was only six when it happened, when he was forced to leave with a cloudy mind and a heavy, grieving heart. Since then he'd been stuck in the foster care system, where being in and out of houses had been the only thing he ever knew.
All he wanted was something real, something permanent. But only at the young age of 14- and like many other orphans he'd known- Tommy had already given up on that hope a long time ago.

Tommy has never known what home truly means. It is about time he figures that out.
