Our second family π€
So my oldest daughter of 1 years has been gone now almost an entire month π she will be back home this Friday and we are super excited π when Octavia was born last January 30th 2020 she was born with a lot of complications and it was one of the scariest things her father and I had ever been thru π and we had no one to lean on for help as we have no transportation and were very low income at the time π― my husband and I have no family no parents and no siblings as his whole family is out west and mine just isn't fit enough that I'd trust any of them with my children , so all our kids have is us β€ just there mom and dad and its hard sometimes very hard but we get things done together were an amazing team and when you love someone you do anything for them β€ so we had a "foster" family step in and help us out while we needed to have a day break or needed to go home for a shower and a change or simply just to check on our home and our fur babiesπ― no one on either side of our family offered help or even wanted anything to do with Octavia as she was born "different" ππ but we don't see her as any less then anyone else so it broke our hearts and we decided if they wanted to judge her they didn't deserve the chance to even get to know her π― so this foster family came into classes we had to take at sick kids in Toronto to learn about our daughters disabilities and diagnosis and how to properly take care of her π and they fell in love with her the same way we did when she was born and now this family has been with us an entire year and has loved Octavia no different then we have β€ and the other day we all met at the doctors office and decided that there gonna be auntie and uncle to BOTH our children and that we will always have them in our lives to benefit the children and ourselves π while no one wanted to take a chance and get to know Octavia and be there for her they did and that warms our hearts β€ our own family's want nothing to do with her and these people where complete strangers at the beginning and they loved her from the very beginning and we couldn't ask for anything better β€ we video chat with Octavia every day until she comes back home from her vacation and they have spoiled her β€ shes got to learn about her native culture and hang out with kids her age and enjoy hiking and swimming and a new environment and for a blind child all of that is so important considering mama bear has been pregnant for 2 years and has had 2 c sections so I've been on bed rest on not been able to so much and dads been busy helping mom and the new baby π― so Octavia has got to enjoy an incredible experience these past 3 weeks and were so happy she been able to β€ were blessed to have a second family but most of all my kids are blessed to have an auntie and uncle they can spend there time with and do adventurous things and be spoiled by and with someone else other then just mom and dad π― we love our girls π―β€ππ€
