He went to print out a quote from you and the computer went crazy; now we have pages and pages of your darling blog. We aren't sorry for his mistake! That was a terribly disappointing Hawaii flight, but what an incredible resolve it produced in you. We are so proud of you on many fronts...Delynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900400281254309042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290394536786464278.post-15159040524961597562009-11-17T15:15:35.450-08:002009-11-17T15:15:35.450-08:00I loved this and have so many thoughts:
*how huge...I loved this and have so many thoughts:<br /><br />*how hugely significant our role as parents is: how your experience being parented negatively impacted you, then changed you. <br />*how you now have this resolve to just be there, so in turn, how everything played out the day you left for university will change your girls for the better.<br />*how this all comes full circle: I don't believe everything happens for a reason, but rather we can be guided and changed by our reaction to those hills and mountains that make up our lives. It says a lot that you've powered through them.<br /><br />p.s. I love the running theme. Your little Avery really does have it in her blood. I've seen it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08949053364898073438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290394536786464278.post-8550196430505614942009-11-17T14:23:43.367-08:002009-11-17T14:23:43.367-08:00i quite like this feature of your blog. beautiful ...i quite like this feature of your blog. beautiful words, just beautiful.mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406515914427790210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290394536786464278.post-70027134538445444452009-11-17T08:12:56.982-08:002009-11-17T08:12:56.982-08:00What beautiful, inspiring words--for yourself and ...What beautiful, inspiring words--for yourself and for your girls!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15855830467285479757noreply@blogger.com
