I am grateful and I am on guard

I am lucky to have had some fun memories with this brave soul, Baruch Dayan Haemet

I am so overwhelmed once in a while when I am by myself running around with my three young kids, we are just having fun, but it is a constant, be careful this, and watch out for that, and sometimes I feel like they just do not appreciate all the energy they suck out of me.  Then I talk to single parents and I cannot even imagine how they get through a day, I am blessed to have my husband to balance our non stop lives and schedules.  It is not easy to have balance in the home either, it is constant work and pros vs. cons, but when the connection is there, just like any family you deal, you stick together though it, and you figure it out.

What works for me is to keep on reminding myself to be grateful for my kind of problems, and that my children are mind and body healthy, developing and growing, and bursting with life.  Then there is the world that I do not like to think about, it is the world that my husband always thinks about, the "what can go wrong" mentality.  Although I firmly believe that worrying in advance does no good, where are children are concerned, they need our undivided attention.

My kids are lovers, huggers, talkers, they really are happy to meet everyone they come across with open arms.  The Jewish community now has an amazing organization that is spreading awareness about child abuse and helping survivors help others by helping themselves.  This is an amazing article about how a child was saved because of the "wall of shame," where there is ample proof of abuse, even without a confession from the abuser.

The next article will be very hard to read, so stop right here.

For those of you that want to continue, I felt it was important because the abusers apologized almost 50 years later, and the reason they give for their actions is literally a loss of control, in their case anyway, not premeditated, which is not in most cases as you read in the last article, there is a "grooming process" that goes on.

Our children deserve their own chance to grow, live, try, feel, thrive,
I love giving them independence,
Thanks to Jewish Community Watch showing the world nobody will be silent anymore,
I can look for signs and ask questions,
Look at the video below, amazing how smart and manipulative abductors can be,
My children will be safe,
