Overcoming those obstacles is the sweetest victory, especially coming out of it a better Christian, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend. <br /><br />Let me also say that my sisters have been in my corner through all of it (even if they didn't always agree with me), and I'm not sure what I would've done without them there. Your sister is beyond blessed to have you in hers.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445829402361076865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839093118547108694.post-79250579441348814512010-09-27T21:51:52.150-05:002010-09-27T21:51:52.150-05:00love it, dusty. thanks!love it, dusty. thanks!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859010006216126347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839093118547108694.post-54064066119182453802010-09-27T21:37:20.175-05:002010-09-27T21:37:20.175-05:00Since I let f-bombs fly quite often, I would say t...Since I let f-bombs fly quite often, I would say that it shows your passion and love for your sister.

I am thankful that I read your blog because I also have been judgmental of people (including friends, family and strangers) of decisions they made that did not fit into what I thought was right. I think most people would say I am a very kind person but it makes me sad to think I have done what you are talking about. Thank you for making me want to be a better person and to realize we never really know the whole story.Alana Sealnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839093118547108694.post-26825980157483875872010-09-27T16:58:34.385-05:002010-09-27T16:58:34.385-05:00I personally don't think you should sweat the ...I personally don't think you should sweat the f-bombs. I don't think they diminish the argument one bit. I think they hammer the point home in a way it needs to be hammered.<br /><br />Just my opinion. But I'm probably what your dad would call a "bad influence." :)Mixtape Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985694618957660633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1839093118547108694.post-78264943881251526422010-09-27T16:49:17.055-05:002010-09-27T16:49:17.055-05:00I ache for you, your sister, your family, her fami...I ache for you, your sister, your family, her family, her kids, the works. Screw the judgy judgers. Why do I get the feeling you're from Texas? Have you said that before? Well, if you are (me too), God love 'em, but they are a special kind of judgy. <br /><br />Your love for your sister is apparent and commendable- I'm sure you are helping her in more ways than you can realize.

...So, correct me if I'm wrong, your story is: <br /><br />1. you're human and not perfect,<br />2. you're intensely loyal even to the point of using words that might make people say "you kiss your momma with that mouth?",<br />3. you're "carrying them in a wheelbarrow" so to speak and are willing to admit (to over 6 billion people*) when you aren't perfect and try to do better, and<br />4. you've got a heart as big as Texas so there's potential for more pain (and more love) than most.<br /><br />I'm thankful for you and your story - and will always, always want to to know "how's life?" even if the answer comes in tears or f-bombs.<br /><br />*- for purposes of this figure I'm assuming that those on earth who aren't following your blog soon will be and will go back and read this post - how's the Swahili translation mirror site coming?Springerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900648244068345371noreply@blogger.com
