Harlan’s Eighteenth Birthday.
Wild Stallion Ranch. Montana.
The past two years had to be the best years of my life. It was like I started
my life over when I was almost sixteen and that’s all I can remember—all I
want to remember.
Everything that happened from birth to sixteen was ancient history—so
ancient it felt like it happened to somebody else and not me.
In my first life there was nothing important. Shuffled from foster home
to foster home, I never felt like any of those caregivers were my family.
Some were nicer than others, but during that entire period of my life there
was one thing that I couldn’t forget. And that was my brother, Virgil. Virge
was exactly two years younger than me. Weird, but we were born on the
same day. The twenty-first of July.
When our parents died and we had no other kin, we were put into the
system. Virge and I were placed in a couple of foster homes together and for
a while and I can remember being with him. I was about six and he was
four—something like that.
One day stands out from all the others. It might have been in the fall
when the leaves were turning colors, but I can’t say for sure.
I remember going to school on the bus and coming home and Virge was
gone. My foster mom told me the case worker came and picked Virgil up
and took him to live with his new family—a family who were adopting
him.
Just him and not me.
They never let me see my brother again and when I was older I tried to
find out what his last name would be if it wasn’t Linley anymore, but that
was a dead end. I was just a kid, and nobody was willing to help me find
out what I wanted to know.
That was a long time ago.
I sat on the end of my bed with my head in my hands trying not to think
about it no more. Today was my eighteenth birthday and Tammy was
making me pancakes. I had to suck it up and get downstairs and hug my
foster sister.
I was close with Tammy, but not as close as I was with Travis—my
adopted dad—he was tough and hard as nails—an ex-biker, former Marine,
and the best thing that ever happened to me.
Now that I was eighteen, I could leave him and our ranch and live some
place on my own, but that wouldn’t happen. This was my home. Travis
made it my home—our home—and I’d never leave him.
I ran down the stairs from my room and the smell of coffee, pancakes
and bacon coming from the kitchen was like the best birthday present I
could ever have.
“Happy birthday, Harlan,” said Tammy. She ran towards me and gave me
