On the beach, crying, on my birthday

Happy tears. I have been dreading today. DH died six months ago and life has been hard lately but here I am, on a beach watching my fosterling run back and forth through a rock pool. He's always hated water, usually screams on the beach but today he is so happy. He's 2 and has additional needs. To see him so happy is the best gift ever.

Happy Birthday OP. You deserve all the happiness life can bring.
Your nurturing has helped your foster king overcome his fear and move on to the next stage of his development. Well done
