CHAPTER 9 Andrew and I had many "back rub" sessions at my house.CHAPTER 9 Andrew and I had many "back rub" sessions at my house. I was filling up a six hour videotape of our activities. We did other things too. You know, brotherly things. Things an older brother would do for his younger one. The zoo or science museum, etc. Andrew gradually had me accepted into his family. He was a crafty little bugger, where I was pictured as a fill-in to them when his dad was out of town on business. His dad didn't mind either, because he was so wrapped up in his work. Andrew's mother was a nice lady too. She had a nursing job at the local hospital with all the stress they put nurses under. Andrew's little brother was at the baby sitters house in the neighborhood. That left Andrew home alone quite a bit. School hadn't started up for the year yet, and his family welcomed someone to help keep Andrew out of trouble. Although thirteen year old kids don't actually need a baby sitter, mothers' being mothers', feel a bit more secure knowing their son's time is spent wisely. I had said many times, that I was going to connect to Andrew's hearing for a two-way path, so tonight, I was going to try. It needed to be done. |
