Awwww….thanks Dawnie, such a sweet story, had to share. Sure hope he gets to open his new restaurant in Denver. Have a great week! xo

Thanks Cheyanne, you know I loved it too. And you’re right, it’s truly a joy to sacrifice for someone you love, and it doesn’t even feel like a sacrifice. Reminds of O. Henry’s Gift of the Magi. Have a wonderful week, friend! xo

Oh Karla, thank goodness you caught that cart w/Ethan. Scary seconds for sure. Yeah, I cried over that second clip and I’m just so happy for Tim and Tiffany and that they found each other. And I did NOT know you worked in law enforcement. So interesting….I’m sure you have stories to tell. (!)

awwww…thank you Kellie, we’re all doing our best at this mom thing. One day at a time. And some days are better than others. I loved what the reporter said too. It really sums it up. And speaking of amazing moms, thought you might recognize this one in this post: http://throughherlookingglass.com/surprised-by-grace/ XO

Thank you Susie, I couldn’t believe it when I heard his restaurant was closing. It’s heartbreaking to see him grieving the loss of the restaurant and yet somehow so beautiful that he is willing to make the sacrifice. Yeah I loved that reporter’s comment too. Hope things go great for them, I’m sure there will be a lot of adjustments. Miss you. xo

Thank you for the kind words, friend. I honestly couldn’t believe it when I heard his restaurant was closing and so I had to investigate and this is what I found. Sure hope things will go wonderfully for both of them and he will be able to open his restaurant again in Denver.

Oh I’m so glad you and Lukey enjoyed it. I see he is working on his valentines!!! So fun, such great memories sitting at the kitchen table making valentines with my brothers and sisters. XOXO

I think it was Tim and Tiffany that did it this time, not me. And I was crying right along with you, Karen. Quite a story of sacrificial love.

Yes, I think of Liam too. He has to be one of the gentlest souls I’ve ever met. He calls me “Charlie’s mom”, and I love it. Thanks so much for dropping by, Dottie. xo
