Empty Nest

I do not know where to begin.  So much has transpired since I last posted.  On December 21, our youngest son, Brandon, left home.  He lives nearby, but he is living a troubled life.  However, he is keeping in touch with us much better than our older son, Eric.  Mark and I endured many hurtful things through the holidays regarding our boys.  But we praise God that our marriage has remained in tact and we continue to stand together.  We also praise the Lord for our church family and the many friends and family that have supported us through this difficult time.  We are starting out the year by participating in a devotional group at our church.  It has been a great way to start out the year and our new life as empty nesters.
