I watched a man walk down a hallway with his two little kids. I remembered what it felt like to have my foster girls and feeling like I had no real connection to them. I wasn’t sure I wanted to attach myself for harm that I would be hurt as they weren’t mine and would be taken away, given back to their parents. I thought for a moment what it would be like to be that man with my own children. They are your kidneys, I thought. Just because they are outside your body doesn’t make them lesser to care for but even more so outside our bodies.
