My friend has a foster kid who hates physical touch I go to my friend’s house to visit or keep an eye on the kid so my friend can get some rest Today, the kid and I were playing a game and she gave me a high five for the first time I am so proud

we got two foster kids that hated physical touch, and for horrific reasons. Years later, my oldest just took off on a cross country drive this morning and gave me a big hug before she left, and has texted every hour or so to say she's still alive. just be there and be part of their support structure, kids are resilient
