You have put so much love into this family. You are amazing. I honestly don't know how you do it, so you deserve one of the biggest thank you's the world has to offer. I can't give one of the biggest the world can offer, but I can give you one of the biggest my writing can offer.
You opened this family whole family with such open arms and love. Even with all of the craziness and complications Lord only knows we have.
The world works in very mysterious ways. And you came into this family's life right when it was needed most.
You opened your arms to the girls in a glorious way. You came when they both needed that kind of love in their lives and you weren't even frightened by it. In fact, you embraced it. You never tried to replace their mother. You have always just been happy with being able to love them and care for them as you have!
Their biological mother didn't deserve them. I thank her for giving us the two beautiful girls, but that is the only thing I will ever thank her for.
It is obvious the mark that she left on them. Both physically and mentally. But you have devoted so much time and so much care into helping them repair and prosper, I don't ever want to imagine what this family would be left with, without you.
In the short time of ten-ish months, you have become so close to this family it's almost as if we all lived the same life and the world has just been waiting for us all to meet.
You are so patient and kind and honestly, it's admirable with the family of this kind.
My brother and I are very close. He practically raised me for a few years as our mom was still trying to figure things out as a working single mother. He may be of a different kind (sometimes I still question if we're even related), but one way or the other he has always stuck by his word and always been able to rise from all the fire and ashes life has thrown at him.
And with you by his side, I no longer have this fear and worry of what he is going to face.
I know I may come off a little high strung at times or even a little uptight, but I just really want you to know how much you mean to this family and to me. This family has been through a lot while trying to ensure that they all had the best chance that they deserve. There may be tears of happiness streaming down my face as a write this, but that's only because of how much you mean to this family.
So thank you, I miss you, I love you, and I am always only a call or a text away.
