A Life of Hellos & Goodbyes

This foster care journey is a life of hellos & goodbyes. Your people watch and see your kids come & go.

From where they sit, it seems like the loss of one and the gain of another simply leaves you at net zero. Swap one for another, and you’re no worse for the wear, right?

It may look to the rest of the world like the child in your arms replaced that child in your heart, that one you hold now fills the gap of the one you held before.

But I want you to know that this foster mom sees you. I know that your loss—even if there’s been gain of another—is real & true. I know that your grief is tucked deep into your heart & might remain there forever. I know that a full heart can still be a broken heart.
