Thankfulness....
I had a terrible night at work, and at 1:30am, I am unable to sleep. I have a very difficult time processing what I see sometimes. And then I come home, and see my boys sleeping. They are so precious, loving, and forgiving. I just don't understand this world. Just when I was about to "lose it" I picked up the phone to give, and feel love from my family. Kevin answered and knew just what I needed and why. He told me he loved me, and passed the phone to the boys. I then told them "I love you more than you know" with tears in my eyes... and they both said "we know MOM!" and that was it. I could pull myself together and take care of the other 10 kids in the waiting room. Kevin is great...I am so lucky to have him. And someday when the boys are older...I will tell them why on some nights Mommy calls...just to love on you...because someone else is hurt in a way Mommy cannot comprehend. .....and she needs you right then. I am so blessed to have my children. I am not a perfect mother, but I so adore these two. They are my sunshine in such a dark world. And Kevin....he is my rock...whom I can lean so heavily on these nights. Thank you my dear family, for loving me......

Your boys have so much life and light. I love to be with them! You are so right we have lots to be thankful for and Kevin and your boys are such gifts to us all. Keep up the good work. Allison, you are a great momma!
Ally, it is always nice to know you have a wonderful family who are there for you when you need an extra boost.Kevin and the boys are awesome!! I can't imagine the sights and mistreatment you must see in an evening at work.You have a calming comfort that you show the little wounded ones and that I'm sure gives them the love and peace they need in their tramatic situations. You do more than you probably know. God gave you a wonderful gift that not everyone can do. Keep doing the wonderful work you do!!!
Love ya
