But what really amazes me is the act of selflessness shown by her foster parents. These people signed up for a job that is 24/7 and heartbreaking. But what they are doing for this little girl is going to shape her life forever. Hopefully she will stay with her foster family for a long time, but if she doesn't, she is being given the best possible communication and reasoning tools for the future. She is seeing for the first time in her little 6 year old life a family with a mom and dad who love each other and stay together no matter what. She is seeing faith in action. She has expectations to live up to and consequences if she does not. For now, she is a very lucky girl.

A Lucky Girl
My friend and her husband has a foster child living with them. This little girl has come to them from a world of hurt, literally. She is cuddly and is aching for love and affection and really just for someone to pay attention to her. My heart hurts for her; for the system that she is a victim of and for the future that she has if she is forced back to her mother.

She is also really sweet and loves to swim. I haven't seen her in a long time, but I remember jumping on the trampoline with Jack,and Hannah too, and we swam with her twice.
