I simply can&#39;t imagine how you feel. But his choice is a testiment to what a selfless man you raised. You raised a man that chooses to protect, and that believes in something bigger than himself. That makes you one amazing Momma in my book. I will pray that God will keep him safe and give you a calm peace. And you are right, every day is a choice. <br />Love that bookcase in your office, and the purple shelf! :)<br />And your comments had me cracking up.<br /><br />AlyshiaLet it Shinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09801133252346601266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28842973.post-6804080609743127152009-09-20T11:50:22.206-04:002009-09-20T11:50:22.206-04:00hi I just wanted to say what a lovely blog you have! such lovely family pics!Annie@A View On Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05282982287412178840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28842973.post-74452378900986324872009-09-20T07:43:41.522-04:002009-09-20T07:43:41.522-04:00Your pics are crystal clear Ms. Denise!
