Okay Kerri...I want you and your husband to know a few things, so sit down...good, and be quiet for a second and let me talk.
First of all, when I am in the presence of the Stetler family, I am beside myself. I don't see all the changes and growth you two claim...I FEEL them in a tangible way. Your home (not physical) is warm and compassionate. I believe in these two, once strangers, and I feel for them in ways that the internet cannot do justice. Your family has befriended Lianne and I and I am so freaking thankful.
Second, Eric's humananity is just a frail and battered as I would expect to see from a man who lives for others as he clearly does. I do not know what the heck is going on, but his blog silence and the hints I hear leave me to wonder...and it is trial and strength that inspire...and I have been inspired incredibly. One of the best nights I have had in years was at Vic's Midnight Cafe with Eric a long while back... I wish he could know that.
And freaking Third- I dont like to be mellow dramatic or even vulnerable, but crap ( I am watching my language for the folks who may not know who I am) anyway, crap- I love you guys and my life, my fruit and labor are yours.
So, bye bye.

Oh yeah, I pray that your family and my family (hint hint) will grow, fail and succeed together for a long time coming.

Kerri- My hopes and dreams for you a long time ago were that when given the choice you would always choose to dance. I'm watching those hopes come true before my very eyes. NEVER run from your vulnerability you are only closing yourself off. I love you!
Mom

kerri,
i appreciate you in your vulnerability, your wholeness and in every area of emotional baggage in between. i want to be a good friend to you through this, whatever this is. there is beauty in the breakdown so go ahead and break if that's what you have to do.
