Jeremy faced me and started to talk. "I'm writing this letter to the courts of California to reject my rights of guardianship for my younger brother, Jake Hollander. Not because I don't want him in my life, but because I want the best for his future. The Atkins family has done tremendous work to heal my younger brother both mentally and physically. In a time of need, it wasn't me that was there to help him, but these complete strangers. If they can already do so much for a stranger, then I can't imagine how they'll go above and beyond to make sure my younger brother succeeds in all that he does. I know of no other set of parents that are more caring, loving, and tolerant than Wayne and Mary. They have a sense of humor, a sense of justice, and are able to accept those who are different from them. I'm thankful such a wonderful family will be taking care of my younger brother and I hope to still have a part in his life." He folded the paper and put it away. Then looked at me. "You're an awesome kid, Jake. And it has nothing to do with me. I'm just along for the ride. If you're at your happiest with the Atkins, then I'm happy for you."
