A new kind of year

I have officially gone without my children for an entire school year. Not by my own want, but because they have been placed somewhere else. My daughter and I have written to each other everyday- but it isn't the same. I know she misses me, and I miss her terribly. Not having been involved in every aspect of their life is something I have never experienced before. I can't imagine any parent who would want this. I want to warn parents, that if they make a mistake, and reach out for help, that that information might fall into the hands of the wrong people. People who will intervene in your families lives and change the childhood of your offspring forever. I hate to think if parents make a mistake- they should NOT reach out for help. Its been a sensitive topic. I find myself being punished at my upcoming hearing for reaching out for help through the years. I can only hope that my son and daughter will not suffer from this...too terribly. I'd like to think that hope has not been lost. It takes a village to raise a family, but when the villagers are fighting amongst themselves, what happens to that family? Jaecob and Jaelyn, I will always do the best I can by you. When I fall,when I make a mistake, I vow to you to always get back up and to fight for us. I hope in your lives when you fall, that you will fight for what you believe in as well.
