For Clarification to those who need it.

I wrote back to someone who thought i was doing these blogs for sympathy. so this is what i wrote them and this is what id like everyone to knwo if they didnt already know.

my blogs are not for sympathy. they are for my sons to have a record of how i felt about them. a record of how they grew up. pictures and memories to look back on. and in case something happens and i die before they are old enough to know forthemselves the AMOUNT of love i have for them. and how i felt for them they can go on there and see. instead of hearing someone elses "yeah your dad loved you" they can read from my own words. NOW. its public because my family is spread across everywhere and they enjoy seeing pictures of them growing up. so its a double wammy there. IF and when people comment i dont read it for me. but for my kids to see my friends and what they thought if anything. thats the whole point of my kids blogs.
