Don't Forget

This year is more than half over, and so far it's been incredible! We are getting ready for the kids to go back to school, and amazingly, for the little kids, it is their second year! Not so much for Lucas, it is the last one for him. I'll have one in Kindergarten, first grade, third grade, and a Senior in High School.

Life is still very challenging at times. I have to ask God for strength, rely on family,friends, and church for support. I see Lucas struggling with all the changes. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, and sometimes I even question whether or not I did the right thing bringing these kids home.

But I know the answer to that. And I also remember knowing it would be difficult sometimes. I know in my heart and soul we are all where we are supposed to be. It's just that sometimes I miss my old life because it was easier.

Then I see something like this (swiped from 'Livesay') and it removes all doubt. My rememberance comes back in a hurry. I remember to never forget Haiti.

I miss my old life a lot sometimes too. I knew it was going to be difficult, but I had no concept of how different parenting institutionalized children is compared to birth children.

I'm raising a second family solo as well; my two bios being 24 & 22 & now the two littles are 5 & 7.

I love my little guys to pieces but boy oh boy it sure can be trying. I understand where you are coming from so well.

Hugs - its got to get easier. Soon please........
