I am so incredibly amazed by the group of kids we have this year at kickback! They are such a blessing! No trouble makers. Everyone gets along. These kids have such great hearts! We have one student who has downs but is highly functioning, well behaved, and friendly with everyone and our kids are so great with him! They are patient & inclusive, but not forceful. Yesterday, we played kajabe can can..... The boys were gentle and got him out first so he wouldn't get hurt.... He was sad to be out, but I was so proud that our boys were gentle. They encouraged him as he walked away and went over to check on him after. What other group have we had that would do that? This is such a good group! I love these kids! Jeremy is doing a great job with them! Proud of the man he has become.

Never expected this much emotion. I know she's grown up, but it just hit me how much I have missed. And how much I'm missing of Bean's life. Only God knows when I'll see him again. I can't even text or Facebook him anymore. What have I missed in the year I haven't been able to talk to him. I won't even know him anymore. I can't breathe. I can't handle this. I just want to run. Can't even sit in Jr high. I hear them worshipping and it touches my heart, but I know once the tears welling up release, I'll have no control. No means of stopping them. God, I want to be with my family.
