Bones was an only child.  
With Bones it was
“What you see is what you get.”  

Yet, he was remembered
by his sisters and brothers
on the street.  

Their bonds of love,
and friendship,
were very strong.

Yes, Bobby, I do not doubt that this is the truth. These sisters and brothers were precious in his life.

Comforting!

Thanks dear Margherita,

You have it right.  Many times the street family is every bit as close, and sadly, sometimes closer than real blood family.

Love Bobby

Ditto Ida's comment.
The 'extended' family is key to survival.

Bobby.. I am thankful for my beautiful brothers and sisters.. they bring me much love... (ok, and sometimes we fight!)

I think Bones is lucky that he had such good brothers and sisters watching out for him on the streets...   love RDB

Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight.........

Thanks dear RDB,

Yes, he was glad to have them.

Bones and his street sisters and brothers are still very close.

Love Bobby
