I understand it all and I understand the circle of life, leave and cleave and all that, but this is the same buddy where his two girls are grown and live just down the road from him.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-66842004365248653822011-08-24T13:26:24.810-05:002011-08-24T13:26:24.810-05:00I'm glad things are going well.

They have to get out on their own sometime.Arsenius the Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849281122788247240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-42281388157328647422011-08-24T09:32:13.840-05:002011-08-24T09:32:13.840-05:00Don - Thank you for leaving a comment.

Driving away from her at college so far was the hardest and next I am sure it will be walking her down the isle at her weeding. The preacher better re-word the question he always asks "Who gives this woman to this man", cause I cannot give her to anybody. <br />Thanks for being a reader of MDR and if you have not done so then I encourage you to hit the fallow button. Keep the comments coming.<br /><br />Stephen - Take a seat, this reply is long.<br />No you did not miss it, I never said. Without writing out a long deal on her condition and not being able to spell half the words, I will say it had to do with her heart and lungs. Last Sat. we thought she was in heart failure and that is why we rushed her to the ER. <br />It was a birth defect or sorts. Yes the defect is still there but by grace alone, the body just all the sudden made itself accustom to it. I only know of one way that can happen.<br /><br />About being sappy, I am not scared of any man that walks upright and I have won every fight I ever fought, but those girls of mine can bring me to my knees quicker than anything. The wife gets so mad at me for "giving in". I just tell her I cannot help it. I am 6'4" 280 pounds and those little girls can kick my butt by just looking at me. You know what I mean.<br /><br />It is good to be back. I hope your days off were as uplifting as mine. I called it a priority check. I don't plan to hit this blog with the intensity I was at. It was taking up to much time in the evenings and leaving out the most important things. Not saying yall aint important, but you know what I mean. When I got home from work the first thing I did was sit at the computer, then the supper bell would ring and then right back to the computer again. Before I knew it, the wife was telling me it was time for bed. This happened every night and I was leaving some very important people out of my life. I don't have much more time with the other two girls so I don't want to waste it sitting behind a computer every night. I know everyone understands that and if I miss a night or two then I am sure those who know me on here will know why. <br />Thanks Steven for the comment and if there was some way to send you a jar of pickled okra without you giving off your exact location just let me know. I will put one in the mail.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-77559445230963176912011-08-23T11:48:22.288-05:002011-08-23T11:48:22.288-05:00That is indeed good new for your daughter..may I a...That is indeed good new for your daughter..may I ask what made her sick? Or did I miss that...<br /><br />Hey, sappy emotions for those beautiful children are right up my alley. I have them all the time for mine. Old big guys have a license to be sappy.<br /><br />Nice to have you back.

It's supposed to be a great day but it sure tugs at your heart. But the strangest experience was watching him drive away from the house by himself for the first time after he got his license. His whole life he had depended on me to get him where he needed to be and then in one minute BAM, there he went off by himself. Anyway my name is Don, I like your blog, just thought i'd leave a comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-10107367418150116202011-08-22T17:53:54.277-05:002011-08-22T17:53:54.277-05:00Thank yall for commenting.

I was hoping she would change her major to business or something like that and go to school up here at UNT. That is not but 45 minutes away.<br />I hope yall have a good time at dinner.<br /><br />Genevieve - You are right about that power. I have seen some really neat things you, I guess, could say was a coincidence if you really wanted to, but what the middle girl did was truly prayer working.<br />The oldest said she will be back at the end of next month for the wife's 40th birthday. I look forward in that.<br />Thank you, Yall were missed as well.Modern Day Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682843961510053146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-33313895008027711162011-08-21T20:16:02.589-05:002011-08-21T20:16:02.589-05:00I am glad to hear everything worked out with your ...I am glad to hear everything worked out with your daughter. What a blessing. I believe very strongly in the power of prayers. I have seen to much to believe otherwise.<br /><br />My prayers go with your daughter as she starts this new and wonderful adventure in college. I am sure she will have many stories to tell. Remember the holidays are not to far off and she will be back home for them.<br /><br />It is good to see you back. You were missed.Genevievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09232175670503262669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176495290528788226.post-69185038619148864282011-08-21T19:20:53.976-05:002011-08-21T19:20:53.976-05:00Good news about the middle girl.

These four years of college she spends at college several hours from home are the dress rehearsal for you guys AND her of the day she graduates from college and REALLY sets out on her own. But a close family remains close even when geography gets in the way. <br /><br />Looking forward to meeting the oldest for dinner one day next week! You and the Mrs just be proud of your girl ...ya done good!HossBosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444735851486747330noreply@blogger.com
