How I became a part time parent

I live in a sweet little neighborhood, and one of my former neighbors had two kids who liked to visit my house. I am retired and live by myself, well me and my several pets.

The kids would visit, me when the adult in charge of them went missing. At the end of the school year they ended up homeless, and they and their mother moved into a shelter. Several weekends during the summer they would spend a night or two, just to get away from the stress of the shelter.

Since the shelter is in another town, the only way for them to get to school is to live someone where in town. So here we are, a family of three. A woman who never expected to have children, and a pair of tweens looking for a home.

Wish us luck, we might need it.
