#41. Soul cleansing and day to day stuff

[kat727]

You are right they are amazing! Everyday they teach me something new and hopefully I do the same for them. There are days I feel like I am doing nothing but putting out fires. But most days, I am in awe that they decide to include me in so much of their lives.

I know they will be gone way to soon. So even though they have their friends over a lot, I have to be glad that they feel good enough around me. Sometimes I realize how many of these kids are broken. Broken by divorced families, abusive parents or even having one parent that has died. I hope they feel better being here. I hope I can at least give them that. S21 says how much they love me, just like the Mom they no longer have. I even catch a few of his good friends calling me Mom. I didn't set out or try to replace anyone. I just want them all to be ok and know they have a place to come.

Yes, my kids blow me away. kat
