Thank you for sharing your hearts ... I cherish all your stories. Kimberly choose to hold His hand through the ups and downs, twists and turns He will prove Himself faithful! It's WHO HE IS! Thank you for trusting us and sharing your heart. I am beyond blessed that the Lord allowed my brother who was with my father when he passed away to see this get posted to Facebook (when I hadn't told him about it) and be my first comment. It was like a kiss from God confirming the timing of this piece. I love the Grand Adventure of serving such an amazing GOD! Thanks for being on this adventure with me! Great Love, ~Ris I’m so humbled and blessed by all your comments. Thank you for sharing your hearts … I cherish all your stories.

Wow. What a great way to show your story of forgiveness and redemption to the world who will read it and see in between the tears-yours and ours. It's no wonder God called you to begin this venture of DIB-what an honor to walk alongside your beautiful and transparent life. much love~m I remember now the miracle of your dad’s prayer. Wow.

I love this story. I love the reddemption of the relationship. I love the relationship your dad developed with Jesus. I love your honesty and vulnerability -- and your love of adjectives! You are a precious friend!

No one has walked in your shoes but the truths here can be applied to our circumstances. I so love your heart and how you express it. You are truly a unique creation in Christ and even though our paths have not crossed in awhile I have enjoyed the times that they did. Thank you for being you and sharing your story. Blessings!

Very well put. You are right. You are a perfect combination of being socially friendly and extravagantly charming. Ris, this is so well written. You drew me completely and had me riveted from the get go. It is incredibly moving and deep. Your story about how he died (when your brother was there) is just like how my grandfather died from emphysema. When my aunt died, 3 months before my grandfather, we also saw her spirit leaving her body. It was incredible. Anyway, it's incredible how God answered your prayers for a precious baby in the midst of your father's passing. That gave me goose bumps. God is defnitely in the business of redeeming. SO true! Have you ever read Francine River's book "Redeeming Love"? It's a beautiful story of God's redeeming love. Anyway, thank you for this incredible blog my friend! Love you much!

Thank you for opening up and sharing that with the rest of the world. You have given encouragement to so many for sharing your story.
