Kyra and I---Easter

On this beautiful day in Southern California (which I am definitely grateful for), I can't help but think about how blessed I am. One reason I am truly grateful is because of these beautiful people above and below...my family. I have a lot of family and I am beyond blessed because of that. I am always loved, always cared for, always clothed. I often forget the privilege of a good family. I am a child advocate, specifically for those abused, and I am often enraged by the lack of care and love these children get. I am an intern at Olive Crest Foster & Adoption Center so I see this first hand. I monitor visits between children who have been removed from their homes and their biological parents. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely parents who are doing all that they can to be better to their children. But I have encountered some crazies alright...and while it makes me upset and angry, it reminds me of who loves me, and how absolutely fortunate I am.
