Thanks mimi. I agree I have noticed myself over the years not being overly affectionate to the kids because it always hurts when they leave, especially when it is on bad terms with the parents and has nothing to do with the kids or when it is unexpected. This little one was such a hugger and was always wanting to cuddle with me every time I sat down and after every diaper change. It is hard too because you would think if the family was happy with sending their child to you that it wouldn't matter how far the drive was. I know I wouldn't do that to my child. I dread Monday when all the kids ask where she is.
