JARED GOES HOME 10 JANUARY 2010

Gayle writes: We met with foster family, Margot & Rick Loy, in Illinois to sign the adoption paper work for Jared. They are first-time fosters and of course they flunked, but will foster again come spring. Jared's new name is Riley and he joins three-year-old Silky Terrier, Buster and ten-year-old Yellow Lab, Sam, along with Margot, Rick and their two college-age sons.

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed, All nicely tucked in my warm new bed. I'd like to open my baggage Lest I forget, There is so much to carry - So much to regret. Hmm . . . Yes there it is, right on the top - Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my leash hide Fear and Shame. As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave - I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things And take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, To never re-pack? I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see, But I do come with baggage - Will you still want me? -- Evelyn Colbath
