How I wish we could have been there!<br /><br />Your list of 13 things had us howling with laughter... Tears rolling too. Every single one is true for us except number 3...instead of that plant... It was my tail bone that was surgically removed and floating in formaldehyde... 🙈🙈🙈<br />#7 howling with laughter... Like seriously were you a mouse and heard this conversation in our bedroom at 5:30 am every time the roads were iffy?! 😂<br />Number 11 I would add... Driving a van full of noisy insecure 7th graders and getting separated from the caravan of mini vans because you were fourth in line and then losing GPS signal, your battery dies and you are lost doing circles in the heart of NYC! I can laugh now but I was fighting tears then... It took me an hour... And the kids just thought it was an adventure.<br /><br />Number 13... Yes! Except it was Monday nights while he had board meetings. That is when I overcame my fears of being alone at night and I learned to fall asleep without him by letting the little ones take turns sleeping with me. 😊<br /><br />Thanks for all the laughs! <br /><br />I love my Uncle Merle's tribute to Aunt Edith ❤️❤️ So beautiful! <br />Gloria Croutch Jason and Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746145452144474256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-52197746545474269322018-01-31T05:36:14.496-08:002018-01-31T05:36:14.496-08:00Ugh!

Sorry, I did write down the ones that resonated most on a sticky note and then meant to communicate them to you, but they aren't lining up now. And it's not worth a retry. But this was so insightful. You have a load that I have never carried, as I can tell by some of your points. Grace to you.<br /><br />I also wanted to tell you that our deacon's wife recently had twin boys under complications and while she was at home a lot with them on Sunday mornings, she listened to your sessions at Inspire over and over. She also borrows your books from me over and over. I had thought I wasn't going to MT retreat this year, but now I am reconsidering, after finding out you're speaking. I could go under the guise of being her baby helper. This is dream stage only. <br />-Luci Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-55306776451661524222018-01-30T23:36:34.779-08:002018-01-30T23:36:34.779-08:00Such a great read.

But Dan only taught 2 years and the spring babies weren't anywhere in the making when he was. :) :) <br /><br />#13 and 14 were ones I also jotted down. <br /><br />In the comments: 4, 17, 25, 27, 31. <br /><br />This was much fun. I'm glad the weekend went well. Merle's words were mighty fine too. And I can't believe you're speaking in Montana this spring. I thought I wouldn't go this year. But I'm thinking I should change my mind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-15618930875137685002018-01-30T13:49:37.011-08:002018-01-30T13:49:37.011-08:00I even related to some of these due to my backgrou...I even related to some of these due to my background as a pastor's child.

She also mentioned that you had a long time to speak, but (and she sounded wistful) it was only once. May God bless you richly for the investment of time and effort you made to bless these ladies who have needed to share their husband with others in ways that require grace and sacrifice.
