How many people get to have special kids with whom they
share years of special moments, years? How many people are adopted at
work? Who gets to adopt new kids, no paperwork or waiting-period required? At
least one lucky person….moi!
I am reminded of last spring when Olivette said “Last
year I didn’t do anything. This year it’s
‘Wohoo!’ I love it!” I loved it too, seeing her excitement and engagement grow.
To know it is unlimited and unending.
What a gift! We have been through
so much together, how could we be anything but family, a family of choice?
What an honor it is to be a “second mom”. I get to
have a daughter after all!
Olivette, je t’aime ma puce.
An ever-expanding family….
This is why I teach!
