A few weeks ago Michigan was playing in a tournament in Connecticut. My brother-in-law's sister and her husband brought their son Derek to see them play since that is his favorite team. Derek is 17 and has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. While there they crossed paths with your brother who immediately remembered Derek from last year's game. He made a point to connect with them and posed for a great picture. He also asked if he could keep in touch with Derek. A few minutes out of John's day made a wonderful memory for that family as they try to make Derek's remaining years as full and happy as possible. karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04597020187376119708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-51289113388810832992018-11-15T13:48:45.263-05:002018-11-15T13:48:45.263-05:00Yes, the thought of children leaving is so hard.

I loved our family unit..and the change is well just hard. So much of my happiness and what defined me is wrapped in us four. I miss our banter, our routine, and our us. Looking forward to having him home for the holidays. It is hard to prepare your heart for this stage...so hard.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02385855913105379101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-9056951271047423192018-11-11T17:22:50.895-05:002018-11-11T17:22:50.895-05:00We are just starting the college process - my daug...We are just starting the college process - my daughter is 17 and a junior in college.

And I still have kiddos at home, which helps, but my house is emptying too fast. <br /><br />I hate cancer too. I’m glad you’re back to sharing so we can all learn from your insight:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640840771416841052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-17970875982150080482018-11-09T17:01:51.859-05:002018-11-09T17:01:51.859-05:00Hugs to you!!

My oldest child (a girl) is almost 16. If you have any great advice for parenting teens I’m all ears! I have an almost 14-year-old boy too. They are great kids, but also so frustrating at times and I feel like my little ones are so much easier for me because I have a lot more experience in that area! Also, it is hard balancing all the ages and I know you have been in my shoes- juggling babies and teens! Any advice for that? We live in California and know very few large families so sometimes I feel like I am the only one dealing with this. Anyway, just thought I would throw it out there in case you were looking for blog topics, your insights have blessed me many times! Thank you! ❤️Evalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624089310890029593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-15691672217312701522018-11-09T14:01:12.249-05:002018-11-09T14:01:12.249-05:00I had (hopefully) and hate cancer too.

But my high school senior will surely be going away for college and I'm starting to realize that it is going to be an adjustment and a difficult one. For all of us. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
