Product Description
Early in my life, I decided to help needy children when I grew up, and throughout my childhood my parents would always help anyone they could. They were post office managers, and they had a special talent for knowing people who needed help. Whether they donated to a needy person without revealing their identity, or extending a helping hand to a person in bad circumstances, they were generous with whatever they had.
No wonder, then, that my sister and I have been in community service for years; Our parents had been playing the same role informally for years, but many years before I even got my community work license, my goal was to become a foster mother. I've grown up knowing there are kids with no families, some had no homes, and many had never felt loved; So somehow I decided when I had my own house - that I was going to work on providing shelter for some homeless children.
When I was in college, I met Lincoln, who would become my husband. He was an adventurous person who loved to travel, meet new people, and try new things. Right after we got married - I hadn't finished graduate school yet - we bought a four-bedroom house and started the process of getting a foster care license, choosing to become a foster parent to children with serious behavioural or emotional problems. Study the home, and make modifications to meet the requirements for obtaining a sponsorship license.
But about a year later, as we were finalizing the licensing process, my mother died suddenly of a brain aneurysm, and at her funeral I heard countless stories - many of them from people I had never met - about how she had helped them somehow, Hearing those stories about my late mother reminded me of what really matters in life, the legacy you leave behind. My mother's generosity made me want to help children more than ever.
Within a few months, we got our foster care license and started our journey as foster parents, and at the time I was working as a therapist at a local mental health center, working exclusively with children - many of whom had behavioural problems - and their parents. Becoming a foster mother gave me an opportunity to apply the principles I was teaching parents in my clinic to the children who came to my house.
Lincoln and I loved being foster parents, and we started talking about being surrogate parents; But this was not possible with the children who stayed with us; where they all had plans to return to their original families or live with other relatives as surrogate families; So we started looking at waiting lists to see if there was a suitable child to live with us. But on the third anniversary of my mother's passing, all our hopes of being a surrogate changed in an instant. Late that Saturday evening, Lincoln said he was tired, and a few minutes later, he fell to the ground. I called for an ambulance, and the first responders rushed him to the hospital. I called the Lincoln family who met me in the emergency room, and I didn't know how to explain what had happened to them; It all happened very quickly.
