foster
Foster care makes all the difference in the life of a young child that's been neglected or rescued from harm's way.
My Foster Father deserves an applause!
Happy early birthday to my former foster father; his birthday falls in June around Father's Day. What is a foster father? Foster fathers make a difference in the lives of the children they take in. A foster father takes in children that are not their own. They provide these children with a loving home and act as their role models. Foster fathers show these children what it means to be a good person. They teach them how to be kind, caring, and responsible.

Former foster care kid
Barry Farmer didn't have the easiest childhood, but it was an experience that made him who he is today – a dad to three boys. When Farmer was just a toddler, he and his three sisters went into "kinship care," a form of foster care where relatives or friends take care of someone's children.

THE UNEXPECTED BLIZZARD
Two years have been since a blizzard hit New York City: the last one we remember was the one in 2016. We got used to warmer weather, not expecting the next one. Science confirms global warming with glacials melting slowly and reality is not different from facts. We had harsh past winters and freezing temperature below 1 degree." These are the frigid winters of Iceland, Greenland, and Alaska. " I kept telling myself.

Greatest hero
My main hero in my life was my mother. She always made sure that I had everything I needed. She was always there for me weather I was there for her or not. She wasn’t only my mother but she was and is my hero till this day. My own mother didn’t love me the way she did and well that is what a mother is suppose to be. To be there for your daughter whenever they are needed. She taught me how to defend and be independent with my own self. She taught me how to be strong and be an independent women. She is a hero because not only she is my mom but she is a mom to all those foster kids that need a mom. Kids that parents treat them like crap and don’t even think that they fell into great hands of love. She is the sweetest, greatest mother she can be. She has taught every single one of me and my brothers and sisters love her unconditionally like she does us. She always knows how to protect her flock from people that try to hurt us and she won’t let them. She has been a hero because from the kids that have been broken she became a mother to them and took them under her wing. Loved them as they are supposed to be loved. Test them as they are supposed to be treated. Also feed them as they are supposed to be fed. Many kids out there come from people that didn’t know how to parent and got into other things instead of taking care of their own kids. Moms should always be hero’s because they not only bring us to this world but they are protective and loving. She taught me how to be a mother and to care for my own. I to this day want to be just like her as a mother and we’ll that day will come when my kids grow up and love me as much as I love her. She is the hero of what a mother should be and she should be rewarded. Any mom out there should be because we are what we are because of our kids. We become who we are because of our kids. We become and are hero’s to them because of them. We become super moms and they love how we can get things done and still be able to have quality time with them. Not only our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and ourselves are hero’s. We become hero’s all at once all together. We moms of this world are United and we love our kind like no other. Being a hero isn’t only putting someone in a pedestal, but also wanting to be like them. We can conquer anything in the world because moms are the best. We can’t only care for ourselves but others as well. Even though we get Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day and even Christmas or our birthdays. We should be celebrated all year because we do so much. Every mom in this world is a hero for every kid out there whenever they get sick, hurt, even when they don’t believe in themselves. We believe in every human being and we provide comfort or what others or even men can’t provide. We have differences but we can comfort in many ways when their babies till they grow old. Hero’s in this world are rewarded and they should make days for those kind of hero’s weather your a veteran or not. Moms are the greatest heroes.

New Year's resolution
What is important in life is you and how you feel. The important thing is what you do with your opportunities. We all have different possibilities, we are all different, and we all have different prerequisites. But what we all have in common is that we are human, and as human we have some basic qualities and skills, and we have some talent that we can utilize.

Jenny’s Day
Don’t look down. Jenny’s boots swished through the untouched snow next to the sidewalk, creating a beautiful soft crunch with every footfall. She wished she had earmuffs for her cold ears – a furry pair like Cricket’s – but then again she might not hear her steps, and that was so rare in a big, loud city that it was worth a little pain.

We Got Approved To Be Foster Parents!
Hello Everyone; I have some amazing news to share with you guys. Some of you know that my partner and I have been going through the process of being my sister's foster carers. It has been a long and invasive process as they needed to know so much about our personal lives.

A Dog's View.
This is my first time out of the kennel in nine hours. Oh, no, this is not torture. It’s just something that the Hue-Man does to make sure that I don’t wander through the house in the middle of the night. Making me stay put makes them feel better. I have two Hue-Man’s that keep me each day. Well, three if I count the little one. I don’t know if I quite count her yet. She is still new and smells funny. I was taken into this house that I live in now when I was two years old. In dog years, this is supposed to be an adult, but I sure don’t feel like an adult when they ask me to do things all the time.
