The Forgotten Few

“If you can help a child, you don’t have to spend years repairing an adult.”

Joyce Meyer

There are some classic adverts going right back to the 1980s showing a dentist but not showing a dentist.

In a similar vein, we have three foster children at the moment but we won't be showing their faces. Here they are enjoying what we mountain folk call "The Beach" aka running through a sprinkler. Kelly is watching on and generally enjoying the bonhomie.

We're a wee bit rusty at some things (water, hat, sunscreen; water, hat, sunscreen; water, hat, sunscreen), but slowly our old fashioned skills are being reinvigorated, and reinvented to suit the dynamic.  The kids are great, and our energy is mostly holding up at the moment.  We do miss the mindless drifting days of empty-nesting, but on the whole it's nice to be strapped back in the parent seat full time.

Speaking of full time, we will know in a week or so if our three bouncing beautiful bogans will be in residence for the remainder of the year.  Watch this space and in the meantime never underestimate how much you can love someone and how it can change their life, and that sometimes the hardest ones to love are the ones that need your love the most.
