TO KNOW LOVE

Under his grandfather's guidance, young D had cared for the animals of the pet shop with an unmatched gentleness. But watching them raised their families filled him with an aching loneliness.

"Grandfather, will I ever have a family?" He asked.

That day he learned a horrible truth; he was alone in this world and always would be. He would never know love. Never share his heart with another.

Now, years later, as he watched in smiling amusement as Leon and Chris wrestled around on the carpet, he knew that his grandfather had been wrong.

And he was glad of it.
