So, depending on which one is a 2 and which is a 3, I'd be very happy to take those mismatched boots off your hands at some point. :) Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414013177294159768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-6168932041886537412014-11-14T12:14:40.949-08:002014-11-14T12:14:40.949-08:00I should have known.

Poked around until I came to the post on your precious son.<br /><br />I admit I could not stay but I did read the post because I felt I needed to bear witness as a mother. I had just met you. I felt like I had intruded somehow.<br /><br />I believe people are put in our paths for a reason.<br /><br />Earlier this week I again stumbled onto your blog after searching for mudrooms. I quickly realized where I was, went straight to your book excerpt and was completely moved.<br /><br />I bought the book. I read it in one day. It is profoundly moving, honest, and full of insights and wisdom that those of us who have grieved can relate to and identify.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us.<br /><br />Most importantly, thank you for sharing your sweet son and family.<br /><br />Your book is a beautiful and moving tribute to your son and family.<br /><br />There is a beautiful song about mothers and sons by Iron and Wine entitled Upward Over The Mountain:<br /><br /> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Kh09MuIfIU&list=RD3Kh09MuIfIU#t=358<br /><br />I will try to drop by more often. I have enjoyed your posts, especially those on parenting and thrifting. I hope your daughter gets to wear out her boots before she outgrows them;)Rosanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334921515741798160.post-59229101993998427402014-11-13T11:27:19.834-08:002014-11-13T11:27:19.834-08:00How I never ran into you at UNIQUE, I'll never...How I never ran into you at UNIQUE, I'll never figure out. But Target it was. I miss UNIQUE and Joseph's Coat. Is that one still there? <br /><br />Yay for Margaret handling the boot situation with grace and resourcefulness. Somewhere there is another mother and daughter having the exact same conversation about stuffing boots or a very upset teenager wondering how to trim her toes. Ew, sorry for a gross visual on a perfectly good Thursday.
