I filled the hole in my heart with the love of many children.

I was born with a large hole in my heart making me sickly and unwanted.

That’s sad and painful.

The hole in my heart causes pain.

But.

My daughter posted the following photo on Facebook.

One of my favorite pictures of Mom!!!!
She’s been a mom to many people including my friends!

It’s me chatting with some of her friends (now adults) over Christmas.

Mother’s Day:

  • I served apple fritters and coffee in my garden to moms who do not have contact with their children.
  • My son called.
  • Six foster daughters called.
  • My daughter came to visit.
  • One of my foster daughters came with her two children.

My daughter is right.

I filled the hole in my heart giving love to many.

Tears. I’m blessed.
