Fostering

foster

We are a foster home.

I can’t share faces.

In fact the kids I am sharing are ones that have moved on.

It is hard to share only part of my family on here.

I tend to post less while we have a placement.

It just feels wrong to be sharing what we are doing without ever sharing the other person or persons that were there also.

It feels like the photos I share have holes in them.

So here are two pictures without holes, my boys with kids that have taken a piece of me with them.

It is hard, beautiful, and heartbreaking but so worth it.

Brotherhood and games.

My boys go through spurts of making up whole worlds for the other to play in.

One will tell the scenario and the other will make choices to advance in the game.

It is like a video game but ALL in their mind…

This day it was a castle scenario, filled with bad guy chases, food, and of course suits of armour and swords.

 The afternoon faded away while they played their game under our redbud tree.

This was a beautiful moment that I want to always remember.
