Yep, that's right: 13 out of 31 nights is the right ratio.
The two older children spent thirteen nights out of thirty-one in our home during July. Between two family vacations and their week at a camp, they just weren't home. This was probably more of an adjustment for me than for them.
We raise them to be.
We raise them to do.
We raise them to go.
All their lives we've been training them to go.
Why is this, when my selfish heart just wants them to stay?
