I certainly appreciate the family dynamic - so I'll add Isaiah, Michael, and Tree (Theresa).
But I cannot bring myself to use that emoji - so - for the three of you:The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

Her Mommy (my daughter) went through some wild teenage rebellion, and it has taken her nearly 25 years to come out of it.
Heidi went through some of the same teenage rebellion, but I'm pleased to say after about 6 months, Heidi woke up and said, "this is stupid - I need to focus on being an adult".
Heidi has been a tremendous supporter of her Mommy, who has been through drug rehab and is doing WAY better, and THIS TIME, it seems to be "real".The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I love the pic, so I keep it around!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
