Yesterday’s post was on the optimistic side – which is where I tend to land 99% of the time. A friend commented that her children would not be so understanding of a sibling getting more attention and fruit snacks for supper. Truth is, mine aren’t thrilled either. (Neither am I, really.) So I need to […]
Hard Conversations
One of the hardest thing to me about Josiah’s tumor is how it has affected our other kiddos. Example # 1 Our older three kids were troopers throughout the month we spent in the hospital with Josiah following his surgery. One evening I was able to come home and be with them for the night, […]
Your Embrace
