@mas1581, that's wonderful news! I'm so happy for you and those dear children. ?
A forever family is born!
Howwonderful!
@mas1581 such wonderful news. I am adopted and my parents were the best. I never felt the need to search for anything because I had the love of a huge Italian family. God bless you for opening your heart and arms. ❤️
Isn’t it a relief when finally you can see light at the end of the tunnel? I’m so happy for you and your family and those fortunate boys. It must be a difficult journey for them. I pray for their wellness and wholeness and forgiving hearts for all they have gone through, and loving, healing blessings and peace for all of you. Family is everything! ❤️
@mas1581. As long as the file isn't too large (under 30k), it should just post by clicking choose file and clicking on the photo. I think jpg usually works. If that doesn't work, then send it to me and I will post it. Can't wait to see them!
Dear @jeanne-mayell, @triciact, @lovendures, @lowtide, @deetoo, @polarberry, @moonbeam, @ghandigirl, @jsr78, @journeywithme2, and everyone- thank you all for the love and concern you have shown me, and for the prayers for the safety and warmth of my family. This community is also a family, and i am so glad to be in it with all of you.
We are all ok, and the power is on! On the one night that i had to leave the cats by themselves, the power came back on in the house a few hours after i left. When i came back the next morning to check on them, it was a miraculous 72 degrees in there! Meanwhile, the house we went to stay with friends at lost power as soon as we settled in that night, lol. So the next night, they stayed with us- and while they were here, of course the power went out again. Maddening.
I didn't want to leave my cats alone in a cold house, as i am not Ted Cruz, but my Mother was losing feeling in her toes. When i pulled back all of the blankets and multiple socks, i could see her toes were purple. I had to get her out of there. Even the plants i had brought in were starting to freeze- in the house! It felt like it was just going to get colder and colder, until we all just popsicled out.
But now it is sunny and warm, and even the one feral cat that i thought must have surely frozen to death, is on the front porch eating some tuna.
peace and love to you all
ps- congratulations @mas1581 for you and your family! and @coyote so glad to hear you are doing well- can't wait until you are back on the forum!
Sent them via Facebook messenger. Apparently my phone takes pictures that are huge and too big for even email if you send 2.
