Sounds like you have some personal experience in the School of Hard Knocks so you can relate to what she's been going through. And you're right . . . she IS strong. (Some might say stubborn and bullheaded like her mother, but we won't go into that right now.) ;o]Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-11336084166670805622013-01-20T16:23:39.679-06:002013-01-20T16:23:39.679-06:00My heart goes out to your daughter and you watchin...My heart goes out to your daughter and you watching her suffer.

CM has great things ahead and once she has her feet dry she will thrive with new bigger & better dreams. <br /> What wise parents you were to give her private goodbye time. Good thoughts and prayers wrappped in hugs for you all.

It's so hard to watch our kids go through heartbreak of any kind. She has come through with more grace than most would I think, and that's a direct result of you and Papa Pea. Knowing when to let her deal with things herself and when to jump in and help is a dance we all only hope to have someday, looks like your family has got it down! I'm sure praying things will go her way in 2013!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-83083379649115575762013-01-19T20:27:24.290-06:002013-01-19T20:27:24.290-06:00I'm with Carolyn too!
