Your words pull my heartstrings and strike a tender chord. I read this last night and it was what I needed to hear after a hectic day. I almost went back into each of my kids rooms to make sure they were really there asleep and not around the corner and down the street as I had found one in particular multiple times. Thanks for sharing your gift of words and love as a mother.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401076753201591991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096693130272726623.post-28593867587923221062012-04-18T09:54:24.451-07:002012-04-18T09:54:24.451-07:00Oh my goodness Katie....that was beautiful!!!!Oh my goodness Katie....that was beautiful!!!!Henich Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01087004268479351080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1096693130272726623.post-32854474855244494452012-04-17T21:53:19.637-07:002012-04-17T21:53:19.637-07:00I love you.
