Chatting with a mom yesterday who is a licensed foster parent. I've known her for several years as her boys were patients at the orthodontist office I previously worked at. I was telling her this story, our journey here and I told her that she was one of the inspirations for me as a foster mom. Working at the office, we had several amazing families who fostered children. I always loved seeing the kids when they came in the office and I thought "Wow! these families are awesome. How do they do it? I sure could never do it." Little did I know that I would be joining their club. Funny to think God put me at that great office most likely to set the stage to prepare me for what was going to come my way in a few years. The families I've met have stayed in my life one way or another. They have shown me to be faithful and to trust and that they're real. They've given me advice and they've supported me even if they weren't aware of it.
All The Things
Here we are June 2023... How'd we get here so fast? Funny I should actually think that? Y'all we are going on 8 years. You know the saying, the days are long but the years are short. That absolutely applies here. There were days I didn't think would end. And, then I'd look up and another year passed. If you've read previous entries, you know I sort of write these with me looking back. I need to have Anna Leigh paint that picture. A lot sure has happened in 8 years. Refer to previous entries to learn all about it. Fast forward to now, to today, June 2023. Rick and I are legit empty nester people. Like what? I know! Crazy crazy!! It's good though. It's all good. Our children are all grown and living their lives. I keep reminding myself this is the goal. We made it to the finish line! Roots and Wings Tracy, you gave them roots and wings. Sometimes I catch myself thinking but do they know this or that? Did I teach them everything they need to know? Lord knows I...
