If you picked me up when I fell, held me till I stood on my own, put yourself between me and the abyss, wiped away a little boy's tears, sheltered me from the storm, hid me from the monsters, gave me a safe bed for the night, fed me, told me it would get better, sat with me in the dark, showed me how to laugh again, pointed me in a direction, any direction, then you were, are and always will be a star.

Today we became foster carers again.
Not sure I can really put that into words.
