You know, I learned some things this weekend that really broke my heart and made me really do some thinking about what it means to be a mom (or a dad for that matter). I have wonderful children. I have 1 biological son and I have 5 bonus children. I love them all with all my heart and honestly cannot imagine my life without any of them now.
What is it about some parents that can truly just basically wash their hands of their children? I will never be able to understand how you can know a child and love that child and raise that child for at least 18 years of their lives (some less) and then once they are married or moved out of your home act as though they don't really exist. I can't imagine doing that and it truly breaks my heart to know that any child goes through that especially children that I love with all my heart. This I do know and I hope all my kids know this... I will always have an open door at my house no matter how old my kids get and no matter what my kids may do that I don't like. I love them all and they are all always welcome in our home and will have a home with us always and forever. This subject is especially close to my heart after having watched my son's own biological father basically erase him from his life so when I see it with any of my other children and knowing the hurt they feel just tears my heart out. I want all my kids, Chad, Katie, Candi, Nathan, Tia, and Trevor to know that no matter what, we love them and they will always be welcome in our home and we will always be family. Ok, I guess my venting my feelings is over for now. I just had to get that off my chest. My heart has been heavy all weekend and I wanted my kids to know how I feel about them all. I know I drive them all crazy calling and checking in with them on a regular basis, but if that's what it takes to let them know I love them then you can bet I will never stop. I love ya'll with all my heart and I always will. Love, mom
