Josephine has
offered respite care to over 40 children in the last
eight years:"When the first child arrived in the house it took some getting used to. Our own children had all flown the nest, so we were used to living in our own quiet comfort zone. But once I was used to having a child back in the house, it brought out my maternal side, and I enjoyed there being a bit of noise and having someone to run to school in the mornings. I felt complete again."
