I don't know why I am JUST NOW following your blog. I read it every day and I have for a long time. I had never clicked to be a follower because I had you bookmarked on my laptop. Anyhoo....

I remember back months ago when your son embarked on his first *tour*, praying for him, and for YOU. I continue to be amazed by your writing. Your words somehow COMPELL me to pray for your family.

Thank you for adding to my life. I love your blog!

Now I have to stop these tears and clean up my face before I go pick up MY little girl! She just started kindergarten and I have been struggling a little...this video just reminded me of how fast it all goes. Not that I needed reminding. I've been thinking of little else these past few months.

Happy birthday to your beautiful girl.

Hi there; I have been following your blog for a while. I am a 47 year old mom with kids 24 (married), 20, 18, 16, 11 & 8. My family has not had the experience of divorce, but it has had some HUGE issues to deal with. I can resonate with you pain and understand the struggle you are feeling with your older children. Someday (via email ;-) maybe I will tell you my story. I was so moved by the song on your daughters birthday video that I immediately posted it on my facebook and sent it to my 20 & 18 year old boys who need to hear the message! Thank you!!!

And thanks for your sharing...and continuing to do so!

God bless, Carolee

This was such a nice photo story! I hope that she loves it. My daughter is 34 now, but when she was 14 she went to her dad's for a little while, but came back when she felt there wouldn't be any "I told you so". We have the best relationship. The teen years are trying!
