The sounds of his laugh, like music to my ears,

Allows my soul to transcend beyond the heartbreak of my past.

His heart against my ear, telling me "it'll be okay,"

Drives me beyond the fog of sorrow within my own.

He laughs as he listens, and, of course, I do the same,

But my chuckles sometimes come from a place deep within,

Though his cheesy jokes tend to make me smile,

My hysterics and cackles arise from the thought

That no matter how my old cruel world used to hold me down,

How I limped and tripped, dodging the pain given to me without remorse,

I was lucky enough to stumble straight into his loving arms.

What are the differences between the Tucks family vs the Fosters family
Thepotemich [5.8K]
One difference between the two families can be illustrated by examining their homes. The Foster family's home is cold and unwelcoming, while the Tuck family's home is a very warm and welcoming house. The book begins by describing the Foster house as a "touch-me-not" house. It's one of those homes in which everything looks neat and organized, but you are not allowed to touch anything.

: Hope this helps :)
