REPOST

July dropped a bombshell on me and so since I've expressed my feelings on my personal blog I'll just redirect you there now...


First here

Then here

Here

Here

And Finally Here


Yes thank you July for being so wonderful. Outside of that chaos our little Gilliland Bunch is doing well. Continuing to grow and learning to love each other in new and sometimes better ways each day. Thank God I have my wonderful husband to lean on right now and my faith for lifting me up and keeping me going each day. I know we'll get through this!


Family

The family endures because it offers the truth of mortality and immortality within the same group. The family endures because, better than the commune, kibbutz, or classroom, it seems to individualize and socialize its children, to make us feel at the same time unique and yet joined to all humanity, accepted as is and yet challenged to grow, loved unconditionally and yet propelled by greater expectations. Only in the family can so many extremes be reconciled and synthesized. Only in the family do we have a lifetime in which to do it. -Letty Cottin Pogrebi
