BUT, that being said, i totally think i agree with you, it is so fundamental as the mom to want to protect them from everything-to shield them and make things easier for them but that would deprive them of learning experiences like this. you are such a good mom and the Reed kids are so lucky you are theirs.Amy @ Lucky Number 13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09203621645710456887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-42522545416307123212012-06-15T16:40:33.792-07:002012-06-15T16:40:33.792-07:00totally made me cry, youre my favoritetotally made me cry, youre my favoriteCaseyWiegandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15573984790387502518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-18396632896148766652012-06-15T15:48:39.051-07:002012-06-15T15:48:39.051-07:00i am a crying mess over here.

Especia...I'm not sure why but this made me cry! Especially that line right above the sweet picture of you & your boys. "i can't keep these hard experiences from these boys (that will be men someday)" So true! We are promised adversity in this life. What a better way to learn to face it than when Mama is right there to make it better! You're growing those boys into men of God and it sounds to me like you're doing a good job!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192972998727462569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557524267448343048.post-19148281573786283022012-06-15T12:48:46.307-07:002012-06-15T12:48:46.307-07:00great thoughts, friend.
