Respect is so important.<br /><br />But, how to show it? Hmmm. <br /><br />Do you know if he consistently sees the boys now? Do you know if he is expected to walk away and never be in touch, or would letters be allowed?<br /><br />I did not know you would be in contact and these are just my off the cuff thoughts. <br /><br />More to pray for!Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421540261453184818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353178627219781934.post-28254030238498980252011-03-25T17:13:30.420-07:002011-03-25T17:13:30.420-07:00I would suggest at least a couple pictures of your...I would suggest at least a couple pictures of your family and your home, maybe the boys' room. I would also encourage you to write a short letter to him acknowledging his love for his boys plus your determination to be the awesome parents you are. If you have the opportunity to take a picture of you and the boys and give that to him, that will be good too. You don't know if he even has current pictures of them.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224986881551392108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353178627219781934.post-58677028402982664182011-03-25T10:42:17.474-07:002011-03-25T10:42:17.474-07:00I love the idea of a photo album.
