An Email

This afternoon I received an email from  my brother-in-law.   He visited us for a week recently and sadly,  I really barely got any pictures. He is a wonderful uncle and the kids  {and Dw & I}  love him to pieces. We are so thankful he was finally{!} able to visit… it has been too…

What I Did

As always, I am sharing my heart with you.  I am grateful for all your responses because I really did want to know how many of you would have handled it.   You know how they say,  “Hind sight is 20/20” I have thought over and over and over and over  about the situation. What…
