If you have been reading my blog, you'll have seen that there's no logical pattern to its content. I tell you though, the content that _is_ there is really me. Probably more than my closest friends would have known. It has been very cathartic for me to be able to write this stuff down, and even more so to have it be read and have people pray for me. There are so many things I wrestle with daily.
Tell me what this blog has been for you. Has it spoken to you in some way? Has it made you cry? Has it made you laugh? Stylistically, has it been decent? Has my writing style and composition improved? Have I held back where you would have liked me to have gone further? Things kinda just hit me, and I write them down. If there are questions, I will answer.
Ask my wife, I relish feedback.

Jerry...I love reading your writings because I know it just hits you, you write and publish. There are so many blogs that edit, re-edit, make it perfect. Blah. I appreciate your writing because it allows me to stay in touch with you. It does make me cry and usually makes me hug my boys harder and longer afterwards. Also, I grow closer to God when I read about your frustration, love and sometimes questions to Him.
Thanks Jerry for writing! <3
Does it make me cry? :) Yes it does. But it is your completely transparent and honest approach to your blog that hits me just about every time. Like Jill said, I love that reading your blog is just hearing what is in your head, unedited. The raw emotion helps connect me to what you are feeling even if there is no way for me to truly understand. Your writing also makes me pause, praise God that you have shared your heart the way that you have, and hug my children. One last thing. I also love celebrating with you the joys in your life! Love hearing about the kids and the sparkle in your "voice" when you talk about all three of them!
I love your blog and love you to man! It has made me a deeper person.
Just waiting for the book!!!
Jerry, I just found your blog a few days ago when I decided to Google your name to see how you are all doing. So far your writings have made me smile, made me sad, made me hopeful, made me feel your pain, amazed me with Ani's progress, made me remember the Fridley tornado and the little boy who was pulled from his crib just before the tornado hit because his father saw it coming, made me think of the broken crib and the untouched cup of coffee in the laundry room, made me think of the display (I think it's in the History Center) with Boone & Erickson on the radio during the storm and sitting in the basement waiting for it to pass, made me wonder how different things would be if two fathers hadn't looked out the windows and reacted as quickly as they did, and you've helped me to better understand what my parents went thru when my 2-year-old brother died. Thank you for sharing! Wish I had found your blog sooner!
Part of my interest in your family is because your family and ours were next door neighbors in Bloomington. Your sister would know who we are.
Take care of each other and celebrate each other! Best wishes and prayers for your future!
