Forever Dad must travel to Tennessee to clean out his dad's home.
I will be taking the kids to church by myself. I am taking them because I want attending church to be a routine that sets our week off on the right foot.
Our church has been the most incredible showing of love and support to our family. So many of our church members have sacrificed to bring our kids home. They helped us in ways we don't even know. They have given us clothes, traded us cars, changed our light bulbs, taken care of our dog, prayed for us, given us money, advice and love.
I know that so many people feel part of our kids lives. They have prayed for them and loved them as long as we have. With all that said, tomorrow, my children will walk into a giant room of strangers. I can imagine their anxiety will be quite high. Physical touch also escalates them.
Tomorrow, if you see us at church, please wave and give us a friendly smile. When we wave and smile back, know that we are offering our biggest hugs and hundreds of words of gratitude to you. Over time, as we all get more comfortable, we will be happy to offer hugs and spend time talking.
Tomorrow, we may sneak out early. We want church to be a positive and lovely experience for everyone.
Merry Christmas from us to you.
