One morning as I was making breakfast, I paused to listen to the giggles coming from our bedroom upstairs. Lucy and daddy were wrestling! Knowing that Lucy had just woken up a few minutes prior to the wrestling match, Gene suggested she take a potty break. As Lucy was running back to him from the break in action, I heard her yell, “Daddy, now do I get to have so much fun?” To which her loving daddy replied, “Of course, Lucy Goosey!”

Every child deserves those moments of “so much fun”

I am so blessed to be a part of a family, a foster family, who believes in making those moments happen for all of God’s children. Amazing foster parents everyday make moments of “so much fun,” “so much love,” “so much trust” and “so much compassion.” This endless list is accomplished without a second thought, day after day, week after week and month after month. It is in those moments that a child’s story is rewritten. Triumph over adversity and happy endings now find their way into this story.

The authors of these beautiful stories all go under the same pen name – foster parent.

Thank you, foster parents, for writing happy endings each and every day.
