The One First Thing... To Check Out

Last night I read this blog that my friend wrote:

The One First Thing

I cried.  

I cried because I felt understood

And loved

And supported.

Those are good feelings to feel.

And unfortunately, I don't feel these feelings as often as I need.

So, today I'm going to encourage you to read it as well.  

Perhaps if you read it, you can better understand, love and support our family. 

Because I know that sometimes it's hard to wrap your head around why we would be doing this.

And if I weren't going through it right now, I probably wouldn't understand us either.

But because I am going through it, I really understand.

And it is HARD.

Sometimes it really hurts.

Most of the time it's really difficult to have enough faith.

And it's overwhelming all of the time.

And if I didn't love these kids SO much...

I would give up in an instant.

But I DO love them.

I love them so much I ache.

I wish people understood how important this is.

And that they could wrap their heads around why this is such an important cause to support.

Because as far as my feelings are concerned,

These are already my kids.

And they are not with me.

And not having your kids with you is JUST NOT RIGHT.

So, I'm not giving up.

I'm fighting harder than ever.

Does that help you understand?
