14/15 years ago I met a man who at the time I didn’t realise to this day how much of an impact he had on me, how much he taught me, how much he loved me, how much he cared and the time I lived with him i never respected him as much as I wish I had now

The complete disrespect I had at the time in my life that was so chaotic is just unimaginable now but that guy still stuck by me that guy was my first ever foster parent #careleaver #fathersday #fosterparent #childincare

That guy everyday I call my dad that guy treated me like his own, loved me like his own and even after I left I knew he still cared we rekindled and that’s the guy I called my dad #FosterCare #FathersDay #careleaver

Even though he’s no longer here with us I miss him every day, he showed me that I matted even when I had given up he was the one out looking for me and my twin when we was them 10/11 year old girls that went missing he put up with us had patience and time when no one else did

And for that I’m ever internally greatful for the person I am partly because of how much he taught me the reflections and memories we shared I will hold them forever happy heavenly Father’s Day dad I promise one day I’ll make you proud #FathersDay #FosterCare #careleaver #love
