Yes... and the fact that they never tasted the real love and acceptance , except from each other, makes me even sadder for both boys..

yeah, loreen I know, but 'course it's a real "half-empty/half-full" conundrum. For me, knowing that they found the love of their life, given who, where, an' when they were, is nuthin' short of a miracle. Many folk in them parts never even got that much out of what was gonna' be a tough life no matter how it's sliced.
