A lot of disabilities do not start at birth. Disabilities come in all forms & shapes- most are from some type of accident, sickness, a gene showing up further along in life than just at birth.
A lot can happen after birth accept that a disability / life can alter at any moment
Usually during our court hearings for our foster loves I let my wife do all the talking since they are more experienced with it from her career & it makes me batshit nervous.
But I finally stood up & talked so so much.
We advocated incredibly hard.
I am so proud.
Watching one of my brothers finally embrace his sexuality after years of deep / heavy talks about it is truly something I will never get tired of seeing.
I am so proud of him.
I will never be able to express how much seeing him in love feels magical.
Had the honor of taking my youngest brother to a Nirvana Tribute last night for his first concert. He will be 16 next week & my heart cannot take he’s not a baby anymore. Watching him be so happy & singing to his favorite artist was a highlight I will never forget. ♥️
I am just so angry that I will always be a sick person dealing with bronchitis or pneumonia flare ups for the rest of my life, I hate that I sought out this diagnosis because it would of been better not knowing
Please don’t tell me we have the same 24 hours in a day when you have not had to wake up in the middle of the night on a regular basis to comfort a 20 month old who is deadly screaming in their sleep from night terrors & try to soothe them through it
2026 might be kicking me on the ass so hard but my parents calling me right when they get to their suite in the Republic just excited to show me is one thing better
hate I had to cut contact for 2 years to make them realize stuff but I am so thankful it helped our relationship
I have went through so much in 29 years with unimaginable heartbreaking things happening, but I think what is happening now just really tops the cake in the worse heartbreak.
Just wanna wrap my arms around my foster daughter & never ever let go of her. My heart breaks.
Everyone who works for the state wants to praise foster parents.
Until we fully advocate.
Don’t stop pushing for answers.
Holding people accountable.
Documenting everything.
Then we are labeled “too attached” for advocating for kids who dont have a voice yet.
