Wow! I can ‘feel’ your sad heart! Such a poignant moment in parenting! I can tell you ONE THING. As a parent of 5 sons, it IS wonderful to see them become awesome young men! To watch them grow and mature. Another season of God’s glory is COMING, JD. We now have 16 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren, as a result of those 5 sons. The ‘backyard is bigger than you thought!!” Grace, Janet Chenoweth, Houston, Texas!

A fathers heart on the back of an envelope.

Reminds me of when I took our oldest to Asbury College in 2005. She was all smiles as we drove away. Five miles north of Wilmore, I pulled over and wept. Ugh. It's gotten easier . . .
