I Need Someone to Talk to
I feel so drained. Been reading some of the questions and joking around here for a distraction, but it's not working.
Last weekend, we agreed to care for some good friends' two kids, while they had a anniversary weekend to themselves. Late Sunday evening, there was a phone call, bad news. They were in an accident with a semi, both were DOA.
Someone showed up Monday, talked with the kids , talked with us, and agreed they were better off here, under the circumstances, than with strangers.
So the past week I've been trying to help the kids get through their grief, trying to be strong for my wife and kid, while feeling like shit myself. Damn, life is really harsh at times.
Anyhow, the few relatives they have in California are unable to take care of them, and as we've known them for several years, and love them like our own, we've agreed to apply to adopt them, and keep them out of the screwed up system. hopefully things will all work out, but man, I need to recharge.
hope I didn't depress anyone, just needed to get it off my chest.
