People

So as a nanny during the week I have a lot of down time and luckily the family I nanny for has tivo. Thank you! So one of my favorite guilty pleasures is Oprah! For the past few weeks she has had some pretty intense topics, mainly about people in the world that are addicted to child pornography, who murder, or my favorite Lorena Bobbit :). Anyway after watching these episodes I started to think about how many horrible people there are in the world and how sick and twisted their minds must be. Then as I was scrolling through the shows this week she had a special about single Fathers. There was a man on the show whose wife died right after labor with their first son. As a single father he realized that his calling in life was to be a father, he now has 9 children total! All adopted from out of the country to give them a better life. He couldn't adopt in the United States because he was a single father. The ages of his childrean range from 4-19. He wakes up at 4:30 every morning to make lunches, get dinner ready for that evening and even bakes brownies for his little girl who was star of the week. He then wakes the kids up feeds them and gets them off to school and then goes to work as an attorney. Doesn't that just warm your heart? There are amazing people out there who are doing fabulous things with their lives!
