Sorry to hear you were feeling down. Things can be challenging. It can be tough to keep praying and keep going. Know that you and your family are always in my prayers, ad if you ever need to talk, my DMs are open as well. 🙏

As for the Diamond, I figured you would do that. 😅Congrats, but please do take care of yourself.

The best part of this is Ruby's story. It doesn't matter if you have four or thirteen or thirty kids, they are all such wonderful little beings. All different and all so funny! Thanks for telling us about Ruby.

Kids tories are always the best....

STORY:

My wife is in the bathroom. She has the door closed AND locked.

...Ruby is banging on the door. "Mom, the door is LOCKED!"

"I know, Ruby," says mom.

"But I can't TALK to you, with the door locked," Ruby says.

"That's the POINT, Ruby!" hollers mom.

Ruby looks at me and shrugs..."Mom doesn't make sense sometimes."

hehe.
