Coming and Going

 The best of both worlds.

I think.

Miss R came for the weekend. 

She can put a face on like no other.
 She is kind of like our tenth child.

We will always love her.

Care for her.

Be there when she needs us.
We will respect her family.

But claim our own place in her life.

Brothers and sisters.

Mamma Jen and Daddy Bob.
 Miss R, you are so beautiful.
The coming and going is bittersweet.

This arrangement is working for now. 

Not without its trials from the blood brothers 
who love her desperately.

We get behaviors and moodiness and confusion.

But we want to be there for Miss R, too.

And I hope they will understand some day 
why we have chosen this path.

For them.
