I am Thankful that we have been blessed with the means to care for our two girls, and to take them to Disney World. It was an experience I will never forget and hope to repeat often.
I am Thankful for Snow White. This past month with her has been trying, but only because her little head is trying to understand everything that is happening to her.
I am Thankful for all the times she says "I love you, Mama"; it eases my aching heart when she later reminds me that she "loves her real mom the most."
I am thankful for Ariel's limitless amount of energy. Her constant discoveries, games, giggles and "race yous" make me remember the pure joy of being 6.
I am thankful for Ariel's trust. She has no reason to give us any, but somehow she trusts us and relies on us. I am constantly aware of how beautiful that is.
I am Thankful for my husband, who has become their protector and their hero.
I am thankful for my Mother. Whose love and devotion to these girls knows no bounds even though she is "Mrs. Sanda * instead of Grandma.
I am thankful for the 10 minutes of quiet I have in the morning. Even though I spend those ten minutes in the shower, it is ten minutes of peace.
I am thankful for the friends who listen to me gripe, moan, gloat, testify, and (occasionally) share.
Most of all, I am thankful for that moment last February when I asked my husband:
"What are we waiting for?" To which he replied....... "you". I am so thankful that in that moment everything changed and we started on our journey to fosterhood and parenthood.
Because of that moment, I have two amazing little girls in my life, and get to hang two new stockings on the fire place.
*name has been changed due to privacy.
