Dreading the Goodbye

We are heading into our 6th month with our four boys.

According to what we were told at the beginning {and we haven't been updated otherwise} they should be leaving us just in time to be home for Christmas.

I'm excited for them. I'm dreading this. But, I've known it was coming since about day 4 of them being here. I'm excited for them. I'm dreading this. But, I've known it was coming before they ever got here. I'm excited for them. I'm dreading this. And yes I knew it would happen before we even knew they existed.

It's the nature of the beast. 

Foster children {if all goes well} are returned to their families. How do you raise a child as your own and then say good-bye? We try our best to rest in the knowledge that God ordained their family to be another one. That doesn’t really help make it any easier. {I'm to much flesh.}  

It hurts.

But they are worth it.
