The Reason I'm Here

Sometimes I wonder why I even came here. Things happen that get me so stressed out that I make myself sick. Some times I miss home so much that I can't help but cry. So when all this stuff happens I think to myself why did I even come here? Well last friday I got my answer. I had been having a bad day, not only would Sebastian not go down for a nap but R.J. decided to make it better by spilling his drink all over the floor, himself, and his untouched food!! Andrew and Bella came home from school and as usual I got them started on there homework then started to get a snack ready. Adrew starts going through his bag and tells me that they had there Valentines Party that day and they each got a kit to make a candy necklace for there mom's for Valentines Day. He pulls out the necklace and tells me that he made it just for me and that he loves me and never wants me to leave. I just about started to cry, and gave him a big hug. He doesn't even how how much he made my day by doing that. But I came to realize that no matter how down things get, the little moments like that are the real reason I'm here and they make me So Glad that I decided to do this. These kids are the best and they have each taken a place in my heart.

This is me wearing the candy neklace.
Bella also made me a card that I thought was so cute. She's very good at drawing and is always making me pictures. When she brings home pictures from school she asks me to keep them because her parents will just throw them away. So I do because it makes her happy that someone cares about her drawings.

The girl in blue is me and the girl in pink is Bella. I love what she wrote it's So Sweet!!

  2. Don't you just love those little reminders right when you need them? If they came any other time, we might not appreciate them as much!! :)
