I saw your comments on the comments I left, b...Hi, <br />I saw your comments on the comments I left, but I can’t say how I found your blog. I know I was google searching on the Clovis technology for the ongoing debate creation vs evolution. Somehow going from sight to sight at some point your blog came up in google. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your blog because it was real and I thought your relationship with your kids to be special. All those little observation you make and the little things you do for them like fixing Sara’s bike let them know they are the most important thing in your lives. No need to worry about the things you hope they forget. <br /><br />Ours are all grown now I’m enjoying the empty nest syndrome but they always show up at Christmas. We Raised our own plus three other girls through various stages of their lives they were brought into our lives. The first was just after we were married my wife’s (Shannon) twelve year sister Alicia came to live with us. She had gotten into some trouble so I stepped in to keep her out of the juvenile justice system. She lived with us about three years during that time it I took over providing security structure and discipline, turning her life around she seemed relieved that somebody took control. Unfortunately when she left and went home her life reverted back. <br /><br />The next Girl to live with us was Sharron she was a friend’s daughter who lived with us from time to time and she came to stay at age eleven when her parents were killed in a car accident. Sharon was placed with us through the foster system and stayed till she was eighteen got married had her own family. <br />Heidi is our niece who is the same age as our own daughter Christine and she lived with us on and off all through her childhood. We provided our home to her when her parents had no place to go. When her parents broke up when she stayed from age eleven to eighteen. <br /><br />We adopted one other girl she is at college right now. <br />I believe Gods purpose in bringing all those girls into my life was to show me girls are people too. When I was a kid my mom preferred girls although she had mostly boys. I in turn resented that and during my early adult life resented women making all women in my life feel inferior. I was going to make them pay for the acceptance I didn’t feel. When I got married got off drugs and alcohol and through it all I developed empathy for the girls. These girls were all brought into my life damaged and hurting with no self-esteem. <br /><br />Anyway I enjoyed your blog I like your approach to parenting your children are blessed to have you. <br />Wish I could tell you how I found it. <br />Jim.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278265493554360569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923815513510455549.post-73176792228790654482014-11-28T19:34:10.558-06:002014-11-28T19:34:10.558-06:00Thank you so much!
