"The child doesn't even look so much as five years old, barely old enough to form sentences or pronounce his r's. Definitely not old enough to be alone."
Eighteen year old Winter Evans goes on an early afternoon walk to clear his mind after the loss of his beloved Grandfather, when he comes across a small child alone in the park, sobbing and clutching a dirty teddy bear.
There's no doubt the child was abandoned, and it boils his blood.
Noticing the child's neglected appearance, he quickly becomes worried and vows to do anything and everything to help.
A heartwarming tale of love, acceptance, abandonment and adoption, and the unspoken fact that family doesn't mean blood.

Found Family
It wasn't a question but I answered anyway "Of course. They are family." "What if they don't feel the same way?" "Then that's understandable. They had their trust broken at a very early age by the people who were supposed to protect and love them. I have been very open with them and have told them several times that they are family to me now. I have also said that if they don't feel the same then that's okay. Either way it's my job to protect and love them" This story embodies the trope of Found Family. I originally wrote it as a comfort story for myself, but figured someone else might also need the same comfort I get from it.Complete
