I have to Share this Good News With all of you! - Today is a Day to CELEBRATE!

Kirstenmumof3 wrote: As most of you know I was diagnosed with a Mental Illness last January. Because of this Children's Aid has been involved and all last year I was not allowed to be alone for any great length of time with any of my children. This was very hard for me and it caused me a lot of sadness. I had to rely on my family and friends (what little I had) to help me care for my children. Claudia was put into Daycare in November because of this and last summer I had to enroll Emily and Spencer in Daycamp. They didn't want to go, but they had too. This caused them to resent me a lot, even though I explained things to them it was very hard for them to understand. Well that was last summer and boy do I ever have some wonderful, awesome, fantastic NEWS to share with all of you! I finally heard these words from my worker "Kirsten we feel that you have made excellent progress in your therapy and are ready to be alone with the children." I could cry I'm so happy! I'm a little nervous though. It's been a long time since I've had to take care of them all day. TODAY IS A VERY GOOD DAY!
