I know it's been pointed out many a time here, but the thing that I really love about the Duprees is how truly grateful they seem to be for each other and the opportunities they've been given. Continuing to go through some rough things with my own (once-"ideal") family, it's just good to know that there is a family out there who is not only working to be close and supportive, but doesn't take it for granted. Anyway, I just felt the need to say something about it, given my current personal circumstances, as it really stood out for me tonight.

That is all...

Hey, thanks.
I am sorry to hear that you are going through difficult times.
The river rises and falls.
I've said this somewhere before....probably my xanga. (yes,...I have a xanga).
It's much harder to keep a family, relationship, marriage, together, than it is to tear it apart.
Things happen sometimes, and life can really suck.
Maintaining a close family is tons of work. It is always fragile, and vulnerable. Pride is usually the killer.

I hope things work out for you.

Thanks for the reply, Kim. I won't get into details, since this isn't the place (and a few people here have heard my story already), but it's been a pretty twisted seven years for my family. In a way, it's hard to imagine and see what our lives could have been like, but it helps restore my faith that the Lord is working through everything, and He'll be there to help me (and everyone else) through the various situations that must be faced. Anyway, thanks again, and keep up the good work with your family, Kim! Smile

My wife rocks like a dweezle slab of oxi-chromite granite harvested from
the moorite pores of Blondula. (she was a blonde as a little girl, but I
secretly like her because her hair turned brown....and her mother saw it
coming out brown and was ashamed...so she dyed it brown...and little
Kimmy Kay became a brunette that day) I lied. Her mom wasn't
ashamed. She was "Bah-shamed". But she was no goat. She just did
what any mother would do.

We're not anything but commoners...oaf-oids, floating is a brillig sea of
briny foam and seawogs. If by chance we have become flotilla and have
not drown (oar these 20-something years), it is because of deep love...
so far beyond sharks and poisonous blow-fish. It is because winning isn't
important in the end...not if there is to be a dawning day and dawning
years. It is because we are stupid but submit ourselves to each other -
one marriage under God, indivisible...for liberty and justice for all. It is
because we pledged our allegiance to each other...a promise until death.
Call us old fashion. But call us weak and broken through trials and hard
times... Call us a waterlogged raft adrift on the sea of green. And 4/5's of
Eisley are salty and soaked and burnt on top... and maybe God is like the
sea...for we are boyant and kept afloat by the mighty deep.

But those damn electric eels... gotta watch em. Rolling Eyes
Sorry about your tuff times. But you will be stronger and more gracious
to the suffering around you. Oh, sorry, what I meant was: I really like
the new "Let it Be" record. Sorry I got so serious and weird on you
guys... (and thanks, Ben)

Yeah, it was a bit dramatic, heh... It's always nice to know that there are others out there going through some tough times just as difficult and bizarre as your own.

Thanks a lot, Ben. It's a great feeling knowing that you can count on strangers here to care so much about the personal struggles of others. Communication can very easily create lots of problems within families, that's for sure. I'll be praying for you and yours.

Once they hit it big they'll start suing boyd, or boyd and kimbrtones will get a divorce because they don't know how to split the money.
