- “I Know Better” by Eric Stephens at Chosen Families: “One of the many struggles we face in our home is big brothers trying to be parents rather than siblings. And for Josh, this struggle seems especially difficult. In his experience of life, most things are black or white, right or wrong. There are very few shades of grey and there is rarely a time to get away with wrong. When Josh sees right, he wants to commend it. When Josh sees wrong, he is deeply troubled and wants to correct it.”

- “Letting Go without Letting Go” by Cassandra at Chosen Families: “If I continue to rescue Cami every time she struggles, I will actually be stunting her growth. I know this truth in my head, but in those moments of struggle, my momma’s heart hurts for her. I just want to fix it, so her way will be a little easier.”
