some of you know what i do. for the rest, i just want you to know that i recently had an experience that is so unlike my everyday job that i just have to share it. this was a once in a lifetime happy experience that i was fortunate enough to be part of. these kids needed a home and needed one fast. it involved some hard truth and gentle persuasion. they are now home with their Dad. i was lucky enough to see what love in ACTION really looks like. from 4 to eight over night. from 3 and 1 to 4 and 4. from his and ours to all of ours. see we (the agency i work for) was simply determined that these 4 kids had to stay together. they had two separate and disparate fathers...one living here with me and one in sunny CA. if you can imagine telling these kids that they were likely to go to CA and live there with their dad, and then hearing how they could not bear to leave their mother. patience prevailed though and Dad started a regular telephone campaign. the idea of shedding a winter jacket for once and all and the allure of 85F soon won them over. i saw smiles and laughter and relaxation and hope for a better tomorrow. OK, enough said. keep wishing this family peace and togetherness.
