We're meant to love people and use things, and so many people get that backwards. Kids are great; they keep things real. I read this myself not to long ago and was astounded.

I wish you and your family nothing but the best life has to offer and think it is wonderful you have not only found true love but are able to share this with your children. However, there are many of us who cannot have children, and some of the comments left by readers make it seem that, because of this, we are somehow incomplete. There are many ways to live a fulfilled life with or without children. There are many ways to express love, enrich the lives of others, and make the world a better place. I, too, love and value children; however, I have learned to create my own happiness without having the ability to reproduce. Blessings and continued health and happiness to you and your family.

I am a mother of four, and they are 90% of my world. I cannot imagine life without my kids. Living began when I got kids to share life with. I look forward to reading more of your family and love you both!! You were my pick for Trista, and watching you make this beautiful family is a real treat. Thanks for sharing.

They have pulled my husband of nealy 30 years closer to each other with sharing the children's up and downs. The greatest joy has been when the children made their own personal commitment to Jesus Christ as their Saviour, getting married to great people and giving us grandchildren. Enjoy the children when they are young the house is empty before you know what happened. Congratulations on the birth of your children and may your marriage get stronger and better as the years go on. Mary Children have been the greatest thing God has ever allowed me to have.

Thanks again for rescuing two of ours off the elevator today. (-: Just imagine Max and Blakesly in there about 10 years from now. It is always an adventure with kids!

I absolutely love what you wrote about marriage and parenting. I was very blessed to have two very loving and supportive parents. My parents were married for over 60 years and loved each other even more rather than less. My brother and I were the most important thing in their lives! God bless you and your dear family. Ryan,

My husband and I have been married for 27 years and have 3 sons (26, 24 & 23). I love my husband deeply but I fell even more in love with him when I saw what a wonderful involved father he was. The boys made him a better man. I've always put my husband and sons first because that's what made me happy and now that they're older, my two oldest have commented on how they never realized what a great home life they had until they saw all their friends dealing with divorced, warring parents. Even though our youngest son is autistic and has presented innumerable challenges of his own, I wouldn't have traded a minute of the time we've had with him. He's made us appreciate the small, simple things in life that are most important - the safety and security of a loving home. God bless you and Trista and the children. You both are an inspiration and I wish more parents thought like you do. How sad for those 90% of parents. My husband and I have been married for 27 years and have 3 sons (26, 24 & 23).
