I bet you miss Eri...We had such wonderful memories! I bet you miss Eric. I had really hard time only seeing Nathan and Sandy, Anna and Gracie every 3-4 years. It gets more difficult when kids come along because they ask constantly why they can't see them too. You are right about the experiences and compassion. My heart has a better understanding of what others go through due to some of the difficult experiences we've been through. I love you cousin! You are impacting lives in ways that many of us can't.Soaring Highhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12292362387467787646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830439756002906980.post-19536205064256629022010-12-07T13:22:29.804-08:002010-12-07T13:22:29.804-08:00Melinda - I'm so sorry that you missed your fa...Melinda - I'm so sorry that you missed your family Thanksgiving!! It is so hard to remember our childhood Thanksgivings and Christmases together and not be able to experience the same as adults. I'm waiting for the day all my family is together again - for any holiday or bit of time!! I haven't seen Eric in 3 1/2 years, and haven't celebrated a holiday with him in 5 years. I'm looking forward to my first Christmas with children! And hoping there's many more with these kids. Just remember in your disappointments that NOBODY's life is perfect - God gives us these experiences so we can have more compassion for others. Love you, cousin!Larissanoreply@blogger.com
