I have always loved, loved, loved your stories. And I have always wanted to doing something positive for children (and now parents!) in the foster care system. Slowly, but surely, you are pointing me in the right direction. I will find that something. This blog is just dang inspiring. Such a lovely soul you have, Deb. Thank you.

I enjoyed reading the story between you and your daughter and your honesty about your own self needs during the game. I especially enjoyed your insightfulness about your perception versus the realities of the population you work with. As a social worker, I too “spend time” with families who have similar traits and have done so for for over 10 years. Within the last few years I have learned to be more compassionate and understanding of a person’s plight rather than judging them for what they don’t have or what their circumstances might be. I believe that in order for those families to experience more success in life there must be surrounded by more people with our similar thought patterns. ln the meantime, let us both continue to celebrate with the parents for their success. Thank you.

So thankful for your perspective and honesty in self-evaluation. Really hit home with me in dealing with everyone in my life!
