A Piece of my Heart


(Please excuse the terrible looking lady in the picture...it was suppose to be a photo shoot of the twins...but Princess really wanted to take a picture...glad she did!  It is the only picture I have with myself and the twins!)

Back in my early HS years I was a big Faith.Hill fan, she is a great singer and I admire that she and hubby Tim.McGraw are still together because we all have seen how marriage lasts in the spotlight!

Anyway, she had a song that was about breaking up with someone but the courus when something like this:
"Take it, take another little piece of my heart now baby, break it, break another little piece of my heart now honey."  And so on.

Well that song comes to mind when I think of the twins, or other foster children that have been in our home.  I once counceled a young lady about being careful who she gave her heart away to because if you truly love someone, the piece of your heart you give them can never be taken back.  I believe this to be true, and sadly before my husband I had given two pieces of my heart away that I can never get back....true love doesn't go away....it can dim with time, but it doesn't go away.

Well, that goes for other people in your life as well.  The foster children in our home each get our heart as well, I will admit that because of the age of the child, their willingness to be part of the family, the length of time they are with us, and so on the amount of our heart each one has captured can vary greatly.  But these twins melted us from the beginning!  They were so little, so sick, so needy and they took me away.  It hurts to have them out of our life.  They have another little piece of my heart that will be with them always!  We love and miss you Cupcake and EskiMo!
