oh dang that hurts. i can’t imagine. well i can. my dad was never home. anyway… those girls are soooo lucky and blessed to have you. so danged blessed.
As soon as those little girls get a taste of the South they will love it! My heart breaks for them now though, and for all of you. I can’t even imagine how hard this transition is going to be for you all! I’m so excited about getting to meet your beautiful family.
Well, I’m not going through the whole ordeal of moving, but I know what it’s like to leave your family all week. Right now, my job has me working on the road, so I’m gone Monday – Friday…leave early Monday morning before I get to see my wife and little girl awake, and get home about in time for dinner on Friday night. And when I walk in and my 2 year old little girl runs to me and screams “Daddy!!!”, my heart stops for a few….and thank God for cell phones, internet, webcams, iSight, etc.
wow, they love you a lot…that was so sweet and sad at the same time. oh, and i love seanna’s prayer. and i love how sohalia said to take pictures of her new friends. you are loved.
Okay the first time I commented I had watched the video withOUT sound. Watched it again with sound and I’m not one to cry but man something must have hit my daddy bone or something got in my eye cuz I had to wipe a tear away.
I look at that and think of how blessed you are to have such a wonderful family. I wish I had kiddos to love on like that myself. I know you are an incredible daddy and that is why they love you so much! More power to you man! Only one more time… you guys will be okay. Your all in my prayers for this transition hon. Give that woman of yours a big hug from me! She deserves it!
you’re a big jerk! why would you do that to us?!?! i haven’t check your blog in a couple days, and it’s the end of the day here at work so i thought i’d check in on you, when i should be finishing this sermon video and now…I’m CRYING!! you’re a brat. we miss you.
that was an incredible and heart wrenching video of how your life touches your family AND how much your life touches those that are blessed to be given a glimpse of it.
awesome.
tell your munchkins that the south is cooling down (it will eventually, i promise) and they’ll actually enjoy being outside chasing the lightning bugs for a couple more warm months!
Brody and I are sitting here in a Hampton Inn room bawling like two big babies. We’ve been gone six days. That’s our life. No tears anymore but it hurts just the same.
Again: prick.
I’m gonna blow my nose and got to bed now. Tomorrow I’m flying home.
You know, I am losing a lot of “manliness” by admitting this. My folks sold the house I grew up in right there in Ontario Calif, about a mile from the airport, and I was in the Army at the time. I went home on leave and when I left to fly back to Texas I knew I would never go home again. They moved to New Hampshire, a little different from the Inland Empire.
That was 11 years ago,10 moves, three states for extended periords and I am here in south Florida. I feel homeless, and that video about made me cry because although I never said a word to my parents, those were the words I was thinking.
RAIN IT DOWN
That was painful. I don’t know who I feel worse for you, or the girls.
Talk about a tear jerker.
are you TRYING to make me cry? geez louise
oh dang that hurts. i can’t imagine. well i can. my dad was never home. anyway… those girls are soooo lucky and blessed to have you. so danged blessed.
praying for your last week.
Heartbreaking for you and your girls! Miss you too bro and thanks for the chat this afternoon and behind the scenes look. It was good to see you!
whew.. even I watered up.
That was just about the saddest and sweetest thing I’ve ever seen!
Praying for you and your family in this transition!
It sucks to have to leave that but think how it is for Heather. She has to drive away with those crying little ones. More power to the wife!
As soon as those little girls get a taste of the South they will love it! My heart breaks for them now though, and for all of you. I can’t even imagine how hard this transition is going to be for you all! I’m so excited about getting to meet your beautiful family.
Wow.
Dude.
I can’t even imagine the umber of pieces your heart must have been in as you walked away from that.
