Dylan Thomas

Poetry is what in a poem makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toenails twinkle, makes you want to do this or that or nothing, makes you know that you are alone in the unknown world, that you bliss and suffering is forever shared and forever all your own. - Dylan Thomas

Hello Goodbye Hello

David is leaving tomorrow to go to a new foster home. The lady has 3 challenged kids like David and does day-care in the daytime. Suzanne wanted to fight this move at first but David requires so much energy and time that she now sees that perhaps it is in the best interest of Karah and Tisha for David to have another care-giver. David may need respite and they may call Suzanne for this from time to time. If so then we will be seeing David again.

I really enjoy him at times. Like this morning early when I let him curl up with me on the day bed and we giggled and cuddled. It was a pleasant time. If I were not totally practical about the amount of energy it takes to do a good job here it would really pull at my heart strings to see him go but he is very difficult and takes a lot of my energy and of Suzannes. We must police him carefully as he can escape in a moment. Those escapes can put the fear of God into anyone. The new Foster mom does not have a fenced yard and is on a busy street, so it will be her renouned skill that keeps him in line and safe. That and a few prayers from our direction I think. He is slick and waits til you get distracted or busy with others to pull his disappearing act!

Well, hope his mama gets her act together and gets him back soon. That would be the best solution I guess. So many children with so many needs and so few caretakers! Sigh.
