This is a major goal accomplished for me. As many of you know, I chose a much different path when I was a teenager. I cannot say I regret my choices, as I have still been blessed, but I do wonder at times how different my life would be had I not made some of the choices I made.
In 1996, I made a goal to help Donald live and grow in a manner that he would choose this path. I firmly believe that this is the better path, and that his decision to serve will help him to continue to develop into a responsible, loving man, husband, and father.
Next Wednesday morning is a mystery except for the knowledge that he is leaving. Who will shed the most tears, either me or his mother, is still to be determined.
I will post pictures and portions of e-mails here for the next two years, so be sure and check back often.

Aw. ... I'm looking forward to hearing all the stories!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the path you chose was there in order to help you help Don to the best of your abilities! Don't be hard on yourself. Some of us learn from others mistakes but most of us have to make our own mistakes to smooth out the rough edges and become the person The Lord wants us to be!
