Memories of Siblings

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I'm just getting ready for work and thought that I would post now, since I'm closing tonight and may not have time to write later. I wanted to share the good news that my little sister is already feeling much better!
A nice appetite (she's already had two bowls of watermelon and some cereal in the past hour alone), walking around on her own, and a big smile are all proof that my sister is getting back to her normal self. She isn't cleared to go back to school yet, but she's alert and gave me a big hug this morning... it was nice to see the drastic change from yesterday morning.

It's actually kind of funny, because when I was looking at Facebook memories this morning, I realized that two years ago, Twin A had gotten sick as well. That time was just a fever, but it was kind of weird to realize that it was the same time of year that she got sick again.

Also on Facebook memories, I saw a cake that I had baked for one of my little foster sisters. It kind of surprised me, because it's been so long since she lived with us. I don't remember every single birthday of each of my siblings who have left my home, but it was a sweet reminder of our time with that little sister when I saw this memory pop up.

My mom actually does remember the birthdays of all of my siblings. You could ask her about any of the children who have lived with us, and she can recall their birthday, and I believe she can also recall the day that each of them came to live with us. I know that some families celebrate the adoption day of their kids, but my parents always felt like these kids became part of the family on the day they arrived, not the day the court made it official, especially because so many children were only with us as foster children and we didn't adopt them.

I'm glad that I grew up in a time before social media and electronics ruled everyone's lives, but I kind of wish that there was a "memories" app that gave us reminders of special moments with all of my siblings. I mean, even the kids that lived with us after Facebook was a big deal weren't ever posted online, so it's not like pictures of them pop up. But it would be cool to have random pictures of my siblings show up and remind us of special times.

Well, I guess I should go finish getting ready for work now! I'm excited to close again...

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
