Good byes here at TLC are hard. Whether its a volunteer or a kid. Your heart grows attached. This morning we said goodbye to two beautiful shining stars. The Lord found them parents. It was a long week for everyone. With such a mix of feelings. Excitement that they have a home and a family. Excitement that they will grow up outside of an institution. But, sadness too. Sadness that they were our for a while to hold and laugh with and now that job is someone else's. Sadness that our memories with them have ended. You could see them have a mix of emotion. Having to leave a place them know and love. But wanting to have a family. Such a new thing for such little ones.
After a goodbye breakfast with friends and family they came around and said their goodbyes. One last hug for everyone. Our last chance to let them know that they are loved and that this is such a good thing that is happening. Tears were shed. In the end Mommy Daddy Brother and Sister walked from the nursery to start their lives together. Lives that will be full of love and laughter. What a special couple to be blessed with a very special boy and girl. A beautiful family. A beautiful life.
Oh did you twins leave?
