Kelly,
That was one of the reasons I left the room. So the Dads could speak.
Please tape this. I really want to hear but also want the Dads to speak
freely. There side is important to maybe understand my own dh.

He leaves us, or me, alone on how things are handled but I really would
like for him to be more involved. My questions would be how do I encourage
him? How can I help him see and use the same respectful language and
lifestyle without correcting him? The way he was raised has a lot to do with
it. He won't read what I suggest. How can I help him along? Oh and he won't
come to the conference. I've tryed. ;-)
Kelly thanks again for all you've done. It can't be said enough. I'm
sure it's ruff on you and your family.

"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it
is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the
excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to
the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last
analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is
grace."

- Frederick Buechner, Author, in "Now and Then"
