How many times a day, as I am rushing here and there to get things done and put away and ready for the next day to begin again, do I actually stop and spend some uninterrupted time with my boys? Stories like this are God's way of saying..."do it now!" Love those babies and do whatever it takes so they don't end up like that young man.dkuroiwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14702013452096435136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-24417587667933826442008-07-08T17:59:00.000-07:002008-07-08T17:59:00.000-07:00Usually you make me laugh.This one made me cry.Usually you make me laugh.<BR/><BR/>This one made me cry.Barb McMahon and Alan Maillouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05395936716793077391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-19536407492245477672008-07-07T23:07:00.000-07:002008-07-07T23:07:00.000-07:00That gave me a chill.

Addiction is a hard thing to understand and very hard to break. Most people are way too judgmental. It's when you see their moms there sometimes, trying to see their child through paying the price and making the changes to a better life that you can easily see that child they once were.Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851446861098955538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-89856824040059613872008-07-07T20:30:00.000-07:002008-07-07T20:30:00.000-07:00Beautiful, wow.Amazing how things we take for gran...Beautiful, wow.<BR/><BR/>Amazing how things we take for granted day to day, speak volumes when we just stop to really listen ... with our hearts.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525149264536202592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668957788371173816.post-52042623131362588702008-07-07T19:21:00.000-07:002008-07-07T19:21:00.000-07:00It's true, you never know what leads someone to th...It's true, you never know what leads someone to the path they choose.
