@OnlyInBOS I remember that storm. Everything was closed including the green line and it took me the entire morning to get from the Fenway to Brighton so I could hang out and drink with some friends.
What I wanted more than anything in the world, wanted with every cell in my body, was for my children to grow up to love Jesus. It was the prayer above all other prayers I prayed for them. I knew if they loved Jesus, they’d return to him when they strayed, they’d endure in their sufferings, they’d sooner or later repent of their sins, they’d ultimately surrender to his will, they’d love his words, love their neighbors and they’d be people of character. The one thing would finally be the everything.
When I say that our children had flawed parents, it’s an understatement. Keith and I will not be holding marriage and family seminars so please look elsewhere for those. But we could hold a seminar on grace. We could hold a seminar on mercy. We could maybe hold a seminar on hope. And we could definitely hold a seminar on what it’s like for your children to turn out better than you did. We are not going to hold a seminar, mind you. I’m just saying we could. Lol.
Anyway, my daughters would be very annoyed with me if I made it sound like they were exemplary. I’m not saying that. I’m just saying that, when I’ve arrived at my last few minutes before seeing the face of Jesus, if I have a coherent mind and a mouth that can speak, I will thank him with everything in me for hearing the most repetitive prayer this former pit dweller prayed for her children.
@BethMooreLPM Big brothers are so special, especially to baby sisters. I’m so sorry for your loss, Beth - condolences to you, Lisa, and everyone who loved Wayne.

Well, no wonder - it all makes sense now.
