Did we all sit down together? Did we know each other? Were we friends? Before we had bodies that had temptations and distractions and made mistakes, were we united? Did we count on each other for help? Did we make promises to help each other make it back in one piece?" <br />This warmed my heart, this is where it's at. What a relief to not be judged, but, to be loved & to have the wonder of our souls looked for. <br />The people that made the difference in my life looked for the good in my soul.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857125530007516749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937730465165161193.post-46078099681454000352015-01-02T11:59:39.391-08:002015-01-02T11:59:39.391-08:00This echoes in my ears from the movie "Song o...This echoes in my ears from the movie "Song of the South": Brer Rabbit says to Brer Fox "Oh, whatever you do, please, please don't throw me in that there briar patch." <br />Brer Rabbit knew it would be the means of his salvation if Brer Fox did just that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857125530007516749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937730465165161193.post-79964234631705385072015-01-02T11:44:25.442-08:002015-01-02T11:44:25.442-08:00Maybe, Sawyr could have a sleeping bag for his top...Maybe, Sawyr could have a sleeping bag for his top bunk & just use a fitted sheet to cover the mattress?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07857125530007516749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937730465165161193.post-20753419791342585242014-09-21T21:34:38.645-07:002014-09-21T21:34:38.645-07:00I am so grateful you have chosen to share.

I am heartbroken by your experiences. I have birth Mothers who are currently incarcerated and some who's struggle with addiction led them to ask me to adopt their children. I often hear the assumed judgements of others about my children's birth parents and I often offended at the assumptions. We do not walk in others shoes and have been admonished not to judge. My heart aches for you and your family and what this trial has brought you, but again, I am so grateful you chose to share! I believe their truly is two sides to every story and compassion and understanding are warranted on both of sides of such an imperfect system.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460845766054837135noreply@blogger.com
