I just wanted to let you know you title fulltummies really hit home to me. Years ago I used to have foster children, and one little girl was brought to me in a kind of a rush. I was making fresh buns and just taking them out of the oven when she came. So I sat her and my daughter down to milk and a fresh hot buttered bun with homemade strawberry jam, while I visited with her worker. A couple of hours later my husband came home from work and as was our way it was payday and we went grocery shopping and stopped for a hamburger, and milk shake on the way home ( that used to be our big treat out every second friday!). Well this little girl ate her hamburger and 1/2 of my daughter's and drank a full sized chocolate milk shake , she and my daughter were both 4 years old. On the way home she said to both of us "It sure is nice to have a full tummy".
So everytime I read your blog I am reminded of her. She only was with us a couple of months, and of course we never knew how things went when she went home, but for years I have prayed she has a full tummy. So thank you for the memories.
I got notice of the following comment supposedly for this post via email. Since it's not here, I thought I'd copy and paste because it's rather heart-warming:
