Today on the morning TV there were stories about people and their children. These stories made me wonder what they are thinking.
We have a family that was making a large amount of money for filming their family life. Now that divorce is in the picture it is going to stop filming because it will hurt the children. What good was it before? This family-did it think of those kids?
The second story was about people raising a little monkey as a child. One family was fighting the empty nest after the last child left home. One family could not have children and "adopted" a monkey. This wasn't a cheap thing to do,some monkeys cost 6K.
Make-up, infant clothes and furniture all purchased for their baby added to the cost.
As a great grandma I can say children can give you the greatest Joy and the greatest Pain you will ever feel. Right now it is the grandchildren and great grands that are doing it to me. The only thing I as a parent can do is to pray! At the moment I hurt but i know there will be some joy down the line.

(((((((((((Joyce )))))) I know exactly what you mean and you described it perfectly. I will pray for you and yours.
Even though they aren't causing me any great pain right now (apart from sometimes being very pesky!) I ache for my children...you know when you just want the best for them, or if you hear another child has been mean to them, etc.
I'll pray for you and your family and for the Lord to bring you lots of joy.
Hugs
Keep praying mother, grandmother and great grandmother. We have an amazing God. Today I am praying for your boys and grandchildren.
Love ya
An ape? Holy crap ... (sorry.) Sometimes one could happily eraze the whole bunch, but in the end - the children are part of me, and as I can see my father in myself I can recognize in the son of my partner herself. The bloke is 20 now and since his seventh year I was a kind of father. I have no biological kids. My family - from both sides, my fathers and my mothers - ends with me.
