I'm trying real hard to be the Shepard.

ohhh, that is so sweet how much they love you and her.

Your W is choosing to miss so much loving from her little guys.

Nothing you can do can replace their mom, no substitutions there.

One thing I try to remember is that hard times are a part of life. You can help them by teaching them the lessons that we are learning here.

Be grateful for what they have. Be grateful they have a nice home, a lovely brother, a great dad and mom that loves them in her own way.

I think teaching kids that problems are part of our lives and we need to work together - as a family is such a powerful tool.

Your kids knowing that they can call you any time and knowing how much you love them, that is awesome.
