Sad Stuff

Doing foster care makes you think about stuff that you don't want to think about...like how adults could do things to little kids that make them end up in foster care or how parents don't show up to their weekly visit with their kid, leaving the kid heartbroken again. It makes you sad when you see their behaviors change after visiting their mom or dad. You wish they had the words to explain how they're feeling, and then you're sort of glad that they don't because if it's unspoken you can sort of convince yourself that you're fixing it just by cuddling them. And sometimes that's all you can do: cuddle, pray, and move on. Believe that God has a plan for this life and that He will see it through since I can't.
