When I think of things my husband and I did all the time together, then something triggers that sadness that he is gone. It is a pain that I hope in time will subside and I wont feel such sadness. I hope it is the same for you.Keep praying because God is always in the miracle business and could still bring them home.

And from what I am learning about you, those children must feel very loved. As I said before, they will someday appreciate it.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13932066100979969014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26758856.post-1155358970224586502006-08-12T00:02:00.000-05:002006-08-12T00:02:00.000-05:00sweet memories of your girls! :>)When I was in col...sweet memories of your girls! :>)<BR/>When I was in college I had to help with a kindergarten class for a psych class I was taking. My entire time there, all the teacher wanted me to do was to teach them their colors. Can you believe an entire classroom of kindergartners wouldn't know their colors yet? I didn't even have kids then, and I knew that was so wrong.

But there was zero respect for that option in those days, and not much help at all. Besides I couldn't even get K. to practice piano! How would I get her to do her math? I had to help the other K. with his homework and we had a horrible time.

I know the scenes you see outside your window make you sad. I'm sorry. And I hope this all gets better soon. Has to break a mother's heart.

Please don't second guess yourself too much about school/homeschool. I think that in hindsight we could all make different decisions but today it matters that you look forward to Christ and to your kids.
