I shared your blog today with Tammy and Mikayla. You came up, because we had a grandma seeking custody bring her granddaughter to church at 11. Her fight for custody involves a drug addicted parent. She was reluctant and whispering and I said “oh, my friend who teaches at 9 has custody of her grandkids for the same reason” She felt more comfortable and spoke more freely when I offered that. Which lead to a chat with Tammy and Mikayla etc. Anyway, I wanted you to know that your story helped someone feel more comfortable today. What you are doing and sharing is so important!

Thank you for making BOTH our days! Please share the blog with her and feel free to give her my number if she'd like to talk. I'm going to a support group for kinship caregivers Tuesday and maybe she'd like to come along?
