This is Carter. I have been absent from posting for awhile for several reasons. Faye’s posts have been amazing, touching and heart-warming. Doing some self-analysis: maybe I didn’t want to detract from her posts? Maybe I was subconsciously intimidated by how amazing they were and was afraid I wouldn’t “measure up”? Some of it frankly was time and energy: I’m a “morning person,” but, on weekdays, my mornings are spent exercising and preparing for work. My brain is “fried” in the evening and just not up to posting about Ashton. I decided to try posting Sunday mornings — when I’m fresh and unhurried — most the time.

A friend pointed out that Faye and I will touch different audiences; there are people out there who need to hear what Faye says the way she says it and there are others who need to hear what I say the way I say it. There are also some who will benefit from both of our posts.

It has been a blessing to read Faye’s posts and to reflect as I have been writing, also.

I can’t tell you what a blessing YOU have been as you have read, shared, liked and commented on our posts. Again, if you find this (and other) post helpful, please continue to do the same. There are probably others that we don’t even know or know about who might benefit from what we are learning and sharing.

God bless you!
Carter
