I’m 55. Not old but not young. My littles are 6,5 and 3. It’s been rough. have had them 4 years now..baby since born., 2 years ago had open heart surgery. been kind of crazy roller coaster. Love these kids and work to keep life stable. Blessed we could do it but it’s hard work. Overwhelm is reality of my life. Seeking balance and trying to carve out time for myself. We adopted ours. Bio Dad doing well now. Bio Mom died. Drugs were the problem. Kids adjusting. We are too. We have a good life, just different than most grandparents. Much love here in our home and glad of it.

Good Morning fellow caretaker Warriors, Have a blessed day!
