When you are young you have your parents to make all the big decisions for you.   They are the ones that are supposed to keep you safe and protect you from the harms of this cruel world.   Tomorrow morning we take Bo to get surgery, it’s something simple, another set of tubes and getting his adenoids taken out.  this is a decision we made for him, something we hope improves his hearing and in turn his speech.  we make these decisions not to hurt him but to help him, and because we love him.

Once your kids up and move out it’s up to them to make their own decisions.  Sometimes, ok, a lot we all make the wrong choices.  We must deal w/ the consequences of those choices, whether they be good or bad.   We’re dealing with some hard stuff tonight as a family and if you could please pray for us.  Dean and my heart’s are broken but we’re making the right choices for our family.   I won’t go in to detail but we are ok, just dealing w/ the hardness of life and trying to protect ourselves and our kids from the harshness of the world.    we’re doing our job and sometimes its hard to do the right thing, and tonight we aren’t quite sure what that right thing is but we’re doing what we can.    wishing we weren’t the ones in charge……………..
