Can it be October already? And the middle of October?? Our foster children have been with us for a year and oh what a year it has been. They are growing so tall and strong..they have climbed into our home and our lives. We were able to see our daughter last October...could it be a year ago? And we saw our son in Sept., along with gramma and grampa. How does life travel so fast? How could our baby girl be grown and have a son of her own. We grow older and wiser and find out how very much we need to learn. Our fingers ache and shoulders cry out with pain. We can tell you if it is going to rain, and worse, snow. We want so much to spend time with our grandchildren, to share history with them, to walk with them, to share, yet it is so clear that they just do not have the time to spare, their lifes are so full it is hard to find the time to spend with someone with wrinkled skin and slow movement. We see them spend their hard earned money on things that blow in the wind...a jet ski, toys that fade away, and then we look around and wonder how we got so much excess, and how to get rid of it. Those things that meant so much to you, mean absolutely nothing to others, or are so old they are outdated and worthless.
