I've been trying to find it and re-read it. I'll keep looking. I watched cutie-pie Simon sing "Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee" on YouTube. I'm in love with your family. <br />Thanks for reading my post, and for your loving response. <br />I want to use the right words, and need some time. I'll respond here, and also on your blog. It may take a while, as my life spins out of control sometimes.<br />Just wanted you to know I saw, and you made me think.

I have very strong opinions about prop 8 and the treatment of gay families (and individuals) in this country. <br /><br />I know about the issues, I sometimes talk about it, I sometimes raise questions. But I do not advocate enough for something I feel is so incredibly wrong, and potentially dangerous to children's development. I do realize that after reading your letter.<br /><br />I was wondering whether I can share your letter through Loki's blog? I am pretty sure we have readers who do not support equal rights, and I would love for them to read this. It is so much more powerful than me sharing my opinions. Of course I fully understand if that does not feel appropriate to you!<br /><br />On another note, we started blendarized foods inspired by your testimony! Thank you!<br /><br />KathalijnMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114248948424836692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439805193963673901.post-68250071430848980242010-05-29T22:28:44.505-07:002010-05-29T22:28:44.505-07:00Wow.

It moved me to tears<br /><br />I'd really like to believe that you're not wasting your time trying to reason with these people or appeal to their human decency.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595187571366476739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439805193963673901.post-74578597687152349882010-05-29T18:17:26.581-07:002010-05-29T18:17:26.581-07:00Beautifully written.

It's a strong argument to make, that Christians are supposed to be open and accepting and loving to all. There is a terrible disconnect between what is preached and what is lived. For some. Hopefully, not for most.<br /><br />A soul who comes into this world to endure a childhood illness may be playing a selfless role. Helping you and your partner express limitless love and compassion, maybe. The sort of love and compassion that is not always shown to you and your partner. You are fortunate for that child, as well as for each other.4rest4treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05257419608032470196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439805193963673901.post-32258607093059666862010-05-29T07:30:01.094-07:002010-05-29T07:30:01.094-07:00Wow.
