Times are tough all over and I think sometimes as a parent you have to open your arms and home for your kids if they need you. Christi came back home for a short time last year and I loved having her. So enjoy your time with them and to heck with the ones who don't understand. Their hearts are not like ours<br />Love <br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-18684560776557896532013-10-07T17:58:28.547-06:002013-10-07T17:58:28.547-06:00Aw, I'm so glad your girls are so close!Aw, I'm so glad your girls are so close!

I try to never judge anyone for the choices they make because I have never walked in their shoes. <br /><br />I have had to make decisions concerning our children I didn't think I ever would but it turned out that the decisions were right. We can only hope, pray and follow our gut feelings as to what we should do. I also believe everything happens for a reason and I would bet some really nice things come of all of what you are experiencing right now. Some already has, your girls are enjoying being together and you are enjoying that adorable little GD. <br /><br />Only you and Howie are in the position to know what is best for you and your family so go for it and don't let the negative comments keep you from doing what you feel is right. <br /><br />Leaving you lots of hugs sweet Tauna <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-76600576904294087902013-10-05T16:28:07.905-06:002013-10-05T16:28:07.905-06:00Hi, sweet friend.

We have three children. Both of our girls have, in earlier days, moved back in with us with their children. We hated the circumstances that brought that about but loved the time we had with them. God is love. Love shares, has compassion, nourishes, and embraces. For some the answer may be to shut out and force others to "grow up" but for us that wasn't the right path. You are on a journey that will be short relatively speaking but filled with great memories. Don't let others make you feel "less than." Let their words make you stronger with His love. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302970884749014150.post-38052163784041390252013-09-30T14:25:13.184-06:002013-09-30T14:25:13.184-06:00I admire you, and your decision to show your child...I admire you, and your decision to show your children unconditional love.<br /><br />That's what this life is all about.... families.<br /><br />Smile, enjoy the little things, and have a great day!<br /><br />{p.s.

Our kids are always our kids and we never stop trying the best we can to help them along the path. You are good parents who love your kids.
