Today my little brother was my big brother. He took me out on the road to show me how it's done. He's good at what he does. The very first store I've ever been into announces shortly after I introduce myself that they are phasing out our line. This is a pretty big account. The buyer had to leave for a minute. My brother must have seen the look on my face because he looked at me and said, "Don't worry, Kerri. I'll figure something out. I won't let you lose this." Who knows if we will lose it, but it was one of the sweetest things he's ever said to me. He probably has no idea how much it meant to me, but I cried on the way home. Not that any of this matters to anyone who made read this, but it's my journal and I wanted to remember it.
I spent the first part of my day working with my dad in his office and the afternoon traveling with my brother. My dad has developed quite the family business.
this matters to me kerri. thank you for sharing it. i love your heart. need to see you sooooon.

It matters to us.
We love you and we love the kids and we love it all together. There is no church without them.
And, I love Eric and I like Luis.
I'm out.

I can't tell you how much today meant to me. for the first time in a long time I felt like everything was the way it is supposed to be.

I too have a little brother. Those moments where you aren't taking care of them and they suddenly take care of you are pretty amazing. I know how much that moment must have meant to you and I'm rejoicing that you had it! I pray for many more special times for you and your brother. I'm praying hard for mine, too.

Kerri,
Danielle and I were discussing that it was so very cool that Mikey came to your rescue. What a really cool thing that Mikey is doing so well. We have prayed so hard for him, I hope and have prayed that you will love your time working and that the Lord will honor your family for the honest and hard work you do in his name. What an awesome family. We love you and hope you are doing well. We pray for you often. Thinking of Palmer too. Take care. Tell your mom and dad hello. Love ya. Dilbone
