I Am Dana Andrews

Let go the hurt, let in the love

Not Yet... If Only

This morning I read the Facebook post of a friend. I wish you knew her; she and her soul are simply beautiful. She is as stunning as she is humble.

Last year this time, Amy was searching for new ways to recycle leftover Thanksgiving dinner leftovers while simultaneously planning the family festivities for the upcoming Christmas holiday. Wearing the many hats of a young wife and mother, and balancing both her family's meals and a toddler on her knee, she started her holiday wish list.

We're Still here

While raising our 5 kids, what we feared most was their being kidnapped. From an early age, they knew not to talk to strangers, let alone walk off with them. Fortunately, they remained safe, and despite our having childproofed the house back then, these days our kids still manage to come back in!

When our kids get together now, they remind me that when they used to jump on the bed, I warned them the mattress springs might pop out. They are thankful that never happened, and both they and their mattresses remained intact. Sadly, their innocence didn't.
