Tearing Up

My eldest son Joshua knows the way Pat and I were raised. He knows of the pain. He knows why we haven't seen my family in 7 years. His brain was working overtime yesterday. He said to me, "Mom, I know that yours and Dad's life as children wasn't easy. It was hard for you. I want to thank you for making my life so different from what yours was."

sounds like your raising a very bright child. kudos to you Carla. thank GOD he knows that his life could be a lot differnt and with that hopefully he'll be able to use that same logic so something very good when he's an adult.

Thank you sweet friends! It melted my heart. We are heading in the right direction although being first generation Christians is not easy.
