Kermit, I stumbled across your thread tonight and have spent the last couple of hours reading it. I want you to know how very much I admire you and how you have handled this tragic situation in your life. I have been married 1/2 the time you have (we have been married 13 years and have four precious young children), and I know how devastated I am by my husband's pressure for divorce...I can only imagine how after 27 years you feel. I'm grateful that you have 2 awesome kiddos, good friends and a strong faith in the Lord. I honestly don't know how people get through a crisis like this without the Lord in the life. Yes, you have backslid at times...heaven knows I do all the time; we are human...but I think for the most part you have handled yourself with dignity, grace, class and to the best of your ability. I pray that this year will be your very best, and I will pray that your marriage and family being restored is God's will. I have no idea why He brings us to problems like this...everything that happens isn't for us to know right now. But I try to remain grateful for all that I do have...my health, the health of my four precious littles (as I call my children), the support of my family and friends, a loving church home, and SO very much more. There are so many more positives in our lives than negatives, even if this very big negative seems to cloud the good at times. Hang in there! Love to you and yours! lc4
