Hi PAPA55MIKE,
What a wonderful story. Those dear little children certainly knows how it feels to be loved. What an amazing job you both do with them. It sounds like they have a great time with their make-overs and tea party's with the dolls and teddies. I loved the picture of the Floppy Hat society.
Great read.

Oh my - that is such a beautiful story of love - and tenderness, and dealing with such great difficulties . I like the feeding of the dolls and teddy bears - and then the "beauty parlor " bit - what great ideas. Loved the story.

I commend you,m papamike, form sharing your loving story. Your words flow from your heart. It is easy to understand the love that abounds in your household. Wandi is one of God's angels working here on Earth. And you are her helper. Together, both share a deep love for all children and life with a strong faith in God. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

Hello with a huge smiles to you papa55mike
I love your wonderful and well written story How can true love be shared? What I liked best is when you told us-
Back in the spring, we bought everybody floppy hats; hence, the Floppy Hat Society was born. This little group consists of four 'little girls' who do almost everything together. That includes going to the potty. Each one them standing around rooting for the other to do the job correctly.

It's amazing the effect we all have on those around us. Wandi with all the kids she loves and shares her life with. Me, with the silly little stories I share. And you with the astounding support you give. I can't thank you enough.
Have a great day, and God bless.

What a truly inspiring read and what a wonderful wife you have to give so much love and joy to these special children. And I'm not forgetting the vital role you play too.
Just one change I might have made:
'It's astounding to see the lasting effect her simple actions have been' - I might have said 'It's astounding to see the lasting effect her simple actions have had.'
Thank you for sharing such a heart-warming narrative.
With best wishes

Comment from BeasPeas
This is a nice non-fiction story, Mike. Some people have the patience, love, and ability to give of themselves in demanding situations. I love the image that is so heartwarming and I like the hats. Well written and interesting. I am very curious how this all got started in the first place and how Wandi got to come to your house every day. It seems that you are an active participant in this group. Is it because Shynoa is your granddaughter? Does she live with you? Marilyn

Well, when Wandi lost her job when the greenhouse closed, she began keeping kids in our home. I can't tell you how many children have blessed us by being here five days a week. Shynoa is our youngest grandchild, but she lives with her parents not far away. Yeah, I help when I can. Many thanks for your kind words and encouraging review!
Have a great day, and God bless.
