    Just finished letting him play for about an hour. Told him maybe we could play earlier tomorrow. I've broke down, just gonna have to let him in. I've tried turning him away and he just seemed so broken every time. I can't do that anymore, it's not in my nature. And I'm lost for any other options. The DCS call seemed to be a bust, so I suppose I now have an adopted child down the street.

    Sometimes it only takes that one nice person to change a child's life. If you feel it's appropriate, be that person to him. The unofficial big brothers program. Good for you.

    He's obviously missing something important in his life the way his face lit up when I told home home he could come back after we had dinner, and how eager he was when I told him maybe we could play earlier tomorrow. I hate to think of what he has to go home to. The thought of it caused me to need an extra dose of my alprazolam just to get ready for bed. Thoughts like this are what cause my insomnia, but this is the first time it's hit this close to home, which make it that much worse.

    This poor child apparently has no one that cares, or maybe he has parents that are doing the best they can, but either way he's missing something at home. A void he is trying to fill around the neighborhood.

    You don't need advise. You know what you are going to do. And you know it's the right thing. You're a good man. Remember that.

    Take care of that boy every chance you get. Like Cape said you may change his life. For the better.
