Foster Sister
Growing up my parents took in a whole lot of kids. They came almost exclusively from deeply troubled homes. Some stayed with us for a day, or a month, and a few for several years. Of the forty or fifty foster siblings I have had in my life one stayed in regular contact with our…

Afternoon Meltdowns
I went to Walgreens. I worked for 45 minutes. The power went off at home. My boys had afternoon meltdowns. I punched back out and quickly found a ride back home. Two minutes after I got in the house the power came back on and everyone returned to their routines. Except for me. I was…
