One of the things I found scariest in the days leading up to and immediately after having my son, was the idea of never being "just Jennifer" again. I would from now and forever forward be "Kael's mom." For a long time I thought that meant losing myself, now I realize it just meant finding another "me" to be. I'm lucky enough that Kael and David joined me in this endeavor but it was initially my idea and my project, something I love, helping animals, now it's something they love too. I didn't lose me I just get to share me with one more person. Kanga-Roo, whom I took to calling mama soon after I met her, is now blossoming into herself again, she has been a wonderful caregiver and mommy to this brood but as they begin to strike out on their own she is becoming more and more the dog she must have been, or was meant to be all along. She is playful and sweet, protective and gentle, silly and stoic, goofy and beautiful..she is many things and I'm glad she helped me to see that I am as well!! Again, thank you Roo!
