Really! Between you and your sister, my life has changed since discovering your blogs/musings. I read them in detail because not only are they "inspirational" in the mother sense but also in the spiritual sense. I almost wonder if a formal handwritten letter would be best than a comment on your blog. However, I'm sure you'll receive the "thank you" either way. I'm in love with your family values and your devotion to each other. Before discovering your blogs I found myself in random states of depression which is odd for me and seemed sudden and also in constant fits with my husband but now, it seems that I'm a little more in tune to what is important. The smaller things that are supposed to bring us such JOY. That was exactly what I'd prayed for before sitting down and readying your blogs. I'm finding "JOY" and I've been writing about them so at any moment, I can go back and reflect on them which I suppose is the purpose of a blog. So, while God is still working on me and my family, I can feel a change coming and I can hear God saying "I'm working in it." everytime I pray. and I know he's doing the same for you and yours!

I just watched Christian's video, and I could just feel his spirit and love toward everyone. When you posted that Stephanie had been woken from her coma, I just wanted to call everyone I know to express my joy and relief--<BR/>I am amazed how we are all so connected and can come to care for others so easily, as I have learned in meeting your family via the blogs. Thank you so much for sharing your story, for posting each day when you can, and allowing others to deeply care and help. I know lots and lots of people have probably expressed similar sentiments, but I just feel like I couldn't let another day go by without telling you mine personally.<BR/>You are all so special and beautiful and I have come to care for you all very much.<BR/>Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.<BR/>JillJillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-5664327433199791022008-11-26T16:25:00.000-07:002008-11-26T16:25:00.000-07:00What a perfect day.

I doubt you remember my comment (since you got so many), but I was in the process of doing while reading your post! My daughter cried 2:30 hours, then almost 2, then 1, and just now only one minute!!! Just thought a success story (so far anyway) might help!

My neighbors think it's strange. While they traipse around town all day shopping, park-hopping, and socializing, I prefer to be in my home or yard doing my chores, listening to soft music and kissing my babies. I also hate to say goodbye to husband in the morning and can't wait for his truck to park back in the driveway. I think home is heavenly when everyone is around.Lisa and Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09317595975281875267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-31062438161557197662008-11-26T10:02:00.000-07:002008-11-26T10:02:00.000-07:00I wish my husband would take more days off of work too.
