A quick note ...

First of all ... THANK you for all of your prayers. Despite being in the midst of our crisis ... we all had a good day at the wedding. Papa and I were able to celebrate with our friends, and with 11 of our 13 children. Cassie drove 200 miles North, while we drove 200 miles South ... and we were able to meet in the middle for the wedding. Hosanna (12) spent the last 3 weeks at big sister's house, and we got to bring her home tonight.

Secondly, in the midst of all of the WONDERFUL and supportive comments from last night's post, was a rather negative/accusatory comment, posted by someone that I do not believe has ever commented before. Whether you are that person ("adopted1"), or whether you read the questioning comment ... I hope you will pop back onto last night's comments to read my answer/explanation. I can shrug off a lot of negative comments ... but felt that this one needed a response.

Thanks again for all of your love and support during this difficult time.

  4. Oh, I'm so sorry by how my comment came across to you. My sincerest apologies for coming across "negative" or "accusatory." I can see now that is how you must have read it. I should have proofed it or read it from your perspective. I didn't intend it to hurt. I've very sorry. Blessings, Jennifer

  5. Thanks Jennifer,

    I just felt a bit judged that it seemed to imply that I'm not home enough ... and I know that I am home so much more than most moms.

    The issue we are dealing with is MUCH bigger than whether or not I leave for a day or two at a time.

    Thanks for not being offended by my response. I truly appreciate the open dialogue.

    Look forward to getting to know you better, through the comments.
