Donald Langerak Dreamer

Donald was having a birthday! Darren stood, watching as Donald's transformation began. Only a few months had passed since Donald had become a part of Darren's family. And, surprisingly, Don hadn't been by even once. Darren had expected some kind of trouble from Don...but none had come. It was true that the adoption had been classified as "private". But Darren remembered Mortimer, standing outside his home as the social worker delivered Donald to him. Had he known? Had he told anyone? Darren would never know that Mortimer had taken that bit of knowledge with him to the grave. Donald's transformation was complete. He would now be going to school, bringing friends home. Darren was happy for Donald. He seemed happy and barely seemed to remember his mother. Darren showed Donald pictures of Kaylynn. He wanted her to always be remembered. She had been a good mother to Donald.
Donald was a normal little boy. He went to school, played games on the computer, made friends. Darren had made sure his life would be happy. Though he didn't have everything materially, Donald couldn't be more loved.
