Feeling Fortunate

After yesterdays meeting, I was explaining to Bart that I feel fortunate. We have two sons who cannot live at home for different reasons, but they really can't be here. One is too aggressive and the other steals high priced items. At this point in their lives, and probably for some time, they are too much of a negative influence (and a danger) to the younger kids.

The reason I feel fortunate is because they are both going to be in places where their needs are met, they have a chance to build their lives, we can still have contact with them, and we are not financially responsible. At this time they are both in good places and we can still be their parents from afar.

Having read through what others have gone through, both financially and personally, makes our story seem like a fairy tale in comparison.

So even though it is far from ideal, I'm feeling fortunate this morning. I'm really hoping that today is a positive and hopeful day with Mike as we transport him...
