Winter will be over soon. That doesn't mean what it used to. Winters are strange now. The world is changing. The daffodils have been blooming for weeks. Spring will bring tornadoes and times when I will take these two little children in my care to huddle downstairs and pray that the approaching winds will leave us safe on more time. I can do my best to keep them safe but their world is not safe. I looked forward to being a grandma, but not like this. The world is changing, and we are in for some rough weather but the fear that plagues me is old: their parents are addicts.
