Are you back in the US now or still in China?<BR/><BR/>Mary; I know. That's the most heartbreaking thing about it. And this mom's devotion to those little girls was so obvious. I know that if she thinks it through she'll get them to where they can all be safe.<BR/><BR/>JD; Ouch on the softball to the eye! I believe you, but the sad thing is that abused women tend to lie about how they got their bruises.<BR/><BR/>Sue; thanks.Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616642644756944035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-45699632600394283962008-03-27T08:45:00.000-05:002008-03-27T08:45:00.000-05:00The waiting area for customers here at CF is right...The waiting area for customers here at CF is right in front of my desk. A lot of people come in with their kids or families. You can always tell which ones might be a little too physical with their kids by the way the talk and act while waiting. Really do feel for some of the little ones.<BR/><BR/>One time I had an upper tooth filled and the dentist left fingerpring bruises on my cheek. It really looked like someone slugged me. Didn't happen. No one would ever hit me more than once and still be in my life.<BR/><BR/>Added the lady to my prayer list.<BR/><BR/>SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414688607675416002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-50593873151993594822008-03-25T11:03:00.000-05:002008-03-25T11:03:00.000-05:00I prayed for her.

How awful that in this day and age there are still women who feel they must stay in abusive situations. <BR/>Years ago, just after we got married, I got hit in the eye with a softball while playing on our coed church team. <BR/>I went to the grocery store and the cashier said, "You shouldn't let him treat you like that." I told him I was hit in the eye with a softball, but I could tell the cashier did not believe me. I was so glad when that black eye went away!!<BR/><BR/>I hope your Easter weekend was a goody!Jamie Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11036600186909466411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-23093882379156587372008-03-24T14:37:00.000-05:002008-03-24T14:37:00.000-05:00As sad as this is, what worse is that her children...As sad as this is, what worse is that her children are living this and have a huge chance of growing up and passing on this kind of madness to their own families.Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-1647886058780739762008-03-24T13:24:00.000-05:002008-03-24T13:24:00.000-05:00Janell, I almost cried reading it.

I knew I could count on you to pray.<BR/><BR/>LaDawn - thanks for all your comments! I appreciate you so much.<BR/><BR/>Paul; Happy Easter to you, too. This is my favorite holiday. The most meaningful to me. The Empty Tomb means SO MUCH.<BR/><BR/>Cliff; My feeling is that the man who sired these children has not earned the right to be called "Dad." That noble title is reserved for people like you who love, respect and care for their wives and children.<BR/><BR/>Scarlet; I know our prayers will be answered, even tho we may never witness the result in this life.<BR/><BR/>On an added note, if it's okay with my new managers, I am getting a stack of business cards from my friend Melissa who is manager at a homeless shelter in Fremont. If the mom (or anyone like her) comes through my checkout line again, I intend to hand them out. I'm sure the store has to be careful(legally and politically speaking) about the information that is distributed to the public through them and etc. and yada yada yada...Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616642644756944035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31423517.post-4483185858242805032008-03-22T11:30:00.000-05:002008-03-22T11:30:00.000-05:00This is such a heartbreaking story, but I love how...This is such a heartbreaking story, but I love how reached out to this woman and now we are, too.

I've always wondered where Dads go in these situations. Although I'm sure Dad either has never been in the picture or doesn't know about it. <BR/>Your last blog was clever.
