Merrick, you are amazing. I admire your stick-to-it-iveness (boy, I think I botched that spelling) when it comes to your faith, your values and your kids. They are so fortunate to have you, especially when so many fathers disconnect from their children in a crisis. You are showing them what a man is like, and it will guide them when it comes time to choose their own spouses.
My best wishes as you join your church tomorrow. I will say a little prayer for you. May it bring you unending joy.
