We're back from RFKC! Oh my Guinness, it was a long week! Despite being long, tiring, and down right difficult, it was absolutely incredible! Those kids broke my heart... *sigh* They each had so many problems and at such a young age! The youngest children there were 6 years old... one of those little ones had to be sent home on the first day... He had a fit and began to bang his head against the corner of the bed. The poor thing had to be restrained for an hour or two, just so he wouldn't hurt himself further...
I'm really not one to cry at the drop of a pin, but the very thought of all of those children makes my eyes prick. It was tragic, having to see them go home to who knows what. Especially my little boys of cabin 5! Fortunately, Ryan and his sister Emerald are in the process of being adopted, but Axel and Angel just want to go back to their real moms. And Kyler had nothing more to look forward to than returning to a group home... Ms. Micaela and all the counselors were such a blessing in these kids' lives! Thank you all!
I tried to start this post as soon as I got home, but I couldn't write anymore, and now I find it just as difficult. If any of you wants to know more about camp, let me know. And please don't worry. The good far outweighed the bad and there were many ridiculous, funny stories I *could* tell. Maybe later.
