Oh, I love that - that’s a perfect addition to this post. 💜 I think I was with a screaming baby during that part of the service and missed hearing that. 😆
Hi Breeann, I loved this essay, which really showcases what a hectic day in your household looks like. I think it's terrific that you foster children; you are trying to give them a great start to their lives. The kittens are adorable, I am a huge cat person, but I wouldn't be able to consider kittens because my senior cat is too scared of other animals.
This quote stood out to me: "Yet, this week, I see proof again in my own life that there is no real other; there are only babies and neighbors and creatures and friends who are here with us. That’s it" You take such genuine care of other people and animals.
I adopted my daughter as a 13-month-old in China. She was traumatized by seeing me, a stranger, taking care of her. Luckily, after some time, we bonded.
Beth, thank you so much for reading and leaving this thoughtful comment.
Ah, it sounds like you also have a big heart for children and animals. Thanks for noticing that quote.
Oh, yes, even adoptions at such a young age involve trauma and heartache. But also, such beautiful redemption and, like you said, opportunity to grow and evolve into a strong relationship over time. It’s hard though in a really unique way, which I’m sure you’ve experienced.
I love everything about this, Breeann, but especially your daughter Jordyn understanding the value of fostering the kittens even if just for a few hours. Oh, my, what she is learning from your big heart. Way to go, Mama. You are a blessing to many.
This reminds me of a message that was shared on Sunday: “Israeli, Iranian, or American we are all Gods children.”
