It is with the heaviest heart that I share with you the news of my mother’s passing. After a valiant six years battling the harshest of cancers, she has been released from her pain and suffering into new life and wholeness.

@janeelisabethh The sun can literally set on your anger because some times you married someone who needs to process internally and hashing it out at 2am while tired is not going to help.

Mr Newton: “I say this with all the love in my heart but maybe if you had picked any other book than Job for your PhD, things wouldn’t always go wrong.” I can’t even put into words the insanity of the last few hours. We’re fine. It’ll be fine. But when it rains, it pours.

My son used to have a tracheostomy and a machine that would provide heat and humidity to his air supply. When we left the house, we couldn’t take the machine. On these super cold days, I think about how hard it was. He’s been trach-free for 3 years now.

@DennyBurk Remember when I said you act like a bully because you target one woman and criticize her work all the time? And you said “no I’m just disagreeing” and later said if “I’m acting harsh etc let me know.” This is it: you keep coming at her. Leave it be.

@JBsTwoCents Your words show great love for your sweet girl. Praying as you wade in the grief of an altered future than what you expected. There is another world out there that sits quietly on the side: the families of special needs children. We have found hope there. I pray you find it too.

@Pastakeith As my counselor tells me when I ask, "Why is this guy still friends with my abuser?" The answer is the same, "That friend benefits from that relationship." So my guess, is that they need to protect David. They benefit from it.
