He thought kicking the heroine addiction would be the hardest thing he
would ever do, until he had to deal with his family leaving him for
dead. Staring at a wave of indifferent faces every day, sleeping in
strange places every night without someone to assure him that tomorrow
would be a brighter day was far worse than stepping off of the junk.
Each time he felt the warm wisp of normalcy brush the nape of his neck,
he would turn to see a fleeting vision of hope, drenched in profundity
at its worst. Cynicism ever at the cusp of entering his mind, a
natural belief in love kept it at bay. Through hard learned lessons
and strong-willed determination, he found a family that allowed him
into their life; accepted him as one of their own. On his first day of
kindergarten, Lenny walked through the threshold of the classroom with
a paper sack in hand, head held high, and a broad smile across his five
year old face - ready to start the day.
