I am hospice fostering a senior named Cheyenne...who will never be adoptable healthwise..and realistically there won't be alot of time with her. Would I have ever thought I could do this? No..
but now I have found how rewarding it is...the unconditional love she gives us...the gratefulness for just the simplest of kindnesses and comforts.....
And talk about easy...she is a joy and a pleasure.
It will be better to have loved her and not have had nearly enough time with her...then to have never known and loved her at all
As far as my small children...they knew her story from the start and that our time would be limited....and it has really been a lesson in caring and compassion for them.
