This isn’t what this place is for. I know that. But I wanna share with like minded folks.
My wife had a 3 yo when we met. I don’t have children of my own. Probably won’t either. Getting passed that prime. We are babysitting her brothers kids. One is 6 months old and that is so far out of my wheelhouse it scares me. But it’s so frigging awesome having a little blessing from God in our house. It’s not near the hassle I expected. I don’t have a clue how to handle it, but it isn’t hard. This is the best blessing God has ever given me. This little 6 month old girl has changed my life in 2 days. No joke.
I can’t describe it. But it really is life changing.
Anonymous boards are generally not very conducive to this kind of personal sharing, but when all is said and done, stories like yours, and families like yours, are exactly why we’re in this fight.
This certainly isn’t a distraction here; it’s an inspiration.
Y’all said it best there. I’m fully aware an anon board isn’t the place for personal stuff. But at the same time, as you said, this IS a huge part of why we are here. Thank you for the support and kind words. Thank you.
Right on 🙏🏻
Came here to say that.
We MUST stand between our precious treasures and "them".
Agreed!
