I just sat down to tell my husband that I got in trouble for not updating the Blog. I said, "Jeff ran into someone at Target that inquired 'what happened to the Blogger?'" I stopped to ask him if he read the post and he said, "No, but it is about time you give us an update!" Alrighty, I get the picture.

Wow, I saw Karin today!!!!!! I saw Jeff too! I looked at him in the eye amongst a billion second graders and couldn't speak. I was so overcome..... Let me explain a little.
Now, today is Valentines Day, so inevitably Jeff would have brought or sent some incredible flowers to Karin and she would have made every woman jealous in Brentwood...again! Then he would have shown up with his sweet smile and a cup of coffee. But more than that. Today was a field trip day for the second grade class. So where was Karin? She is right there. I wish you all could have seen her! We all know her love,and commitment for her kids right? Well her commitment and spirit were there in the hallway standing near Noah!
I don't know about all of you, but I dont think I have anyone,or not many family members who would step up and continue to be there for my kids if I was gone,( or keep up a website in my honor, thx Beth). But Karin's Mom and Dad, and Jeff were all there. I know she would would be so proud of them. The commitment and Karin live on! Her spirit is alive and well!
I know Karin is their daughter and they would do anything for her, but as a mom I just need to say how much I appreciate all that they are doing, and have always done!! Karin your family rocks! Happy Valentines Day Jeff, you are very loved!
Jeff,
You are so impressive as a father. In themidst of this struggle, you are still doing an amazing job with your kids. As long as I have known you, you have always been a great father, but during this time, you haven't skipped a beat. So many parents loose sight of of the little things in regular circumstances. With the hard change, you still parent with love , compassion, and commitment to your children. Knowing that you have cried together with your kids shows them it is OK to miss her, you have set a great example for them!After meeting Karin, I tried to follow her lead, and would often ask her for advice reguarding my own son. You're kids are so great, it reflects what a good job you have both done, and what you continue doing.
