When I picked up the Skids last night my SD 10 gave me a little package that she had wrapped up. She told me it was for me. He BM was there at the time and you could see by her face that she was not happy that I was being given a present.

Anyway I waited until I got home to open it. When I did it was a little model of me she had made in her craft time at school. It was of my face and hair and she had made it and painted it. It was so lovely and I gave her a big hug and said thank you so much it was a lovely present and it was very nice of her to think of me and make it.

She told me she made it for me because all of the nice things I do for her and her brother as she wanted to do something nice for me. She told me she didn’t make anyone else one only me.

I was so touched by her thought, I don’t think she will ever understand how much that means to me. It’s the little things like this that keep me going through all the crap I get from the BM. It nice to know that I am making a difference in these kids lives and that they are better for me being involved. It is something I will keep safe forever
