Betty and the rest of FML:
I understand what you are saying...however everyone is different. When
they come into my home they are my babies. Whether foster kids or not.
I consider myself their mommy and they get the same love, devotion, time,
energy, caring and everything else that ANY other animal/child would get
from me.
I treat my animals as my kids. Would it be less personal if a foster
child died or my real child? Shoot no! It hurts. To me there is no
separating the two.
My babies are my life. Whether they are here for a day or 5 years. The
pain still hurts...I would give it a 10 for each death.
Maybe he should have just left that remark out and I would have left
it alone...but he didn't. I tried to leave it alone...but I couldn't.
I guess I thought for sure another shelter would speak up...but they
didn't. So, me with my big mouth said it. Maybe I am the only one that
feels that way. That is fine with me.
