TGIF

Its Sunday. My Friday.
Thank God!

My week in Indiana was great, but definitely go-go-go. I had one day off after my return home before going back to work. Because of Thanksgiving, there was only one kid left behind in the group home for the weekend. This made for a very laid back week at work, but also somewhat emotional. That one kid left behind, well... he felt left behind. He misses his mother, which is only amplified by the holidays, so he's been on an emotional roller coaster and us staff have been on it with him.

So now I have three days to leave behind his drama and live in my own :-)

TGIF!

I cant imagine.

I can't imagine living the life of some of these kids I take care of.

Having a homeless mother. Unsure of her safety. Not knowing when I'll see her next, and having every reason to believe I might never even see her again.

And the holidays. Seeing everyone leave for weekend visits, coming back with grand stories and bags of goodies.

All while staying behind.
Hoping. Praying I'll see my mother soon.

Praying I'll see her again.

I can't imagine.
