I&#39;ll be watching for your smiling face, looking for stories of Peanut, and of course, wishing you all of life&#39;s best. <br /><br />Like Lis said, leave the door cracked open, even if it&#39;s just a little.<br /><br />I know we haven&#39;t heard the last of you. <br /><br />Blessings, my friend!Barbara Swaffordhttp://bloggingwithoutablog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996194193159757781.post-14572100270866731182009-10-11T10:05:52.910-05:002009-10-11T10:05:52.910-05:00Oh my, I&#39;m SO very behind (and for that reason have been considering big blog changes too) but I had to be sure to chime in that I will miss your posts a great deal. I do understand your position and I am pleased you have peace about it. I&#39;ll so miss seeing Peanut especially, but Diva and MA as well. I&#39;m a hold out for FB and Twitter (also a decision made to be true to my family) so I will hope for an occasional popping in or something, knowing you&#39;re still being a great mother and wife all the while. :o)<br /><br />Many blessings to you and yours, Debbie!! (And I sent you an email today too...before I saw this.)RKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11259757888643034394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996194193159757781.post-22309566411604008812009-10-08T17:53:20.675-05:002009-10-08T17:53:20.675-05:00Ohhh! How sad!! I love your blog! Though I haven&#39;t been a good blogger lately (posting or commenting) I still enjoy everything you write. You will be missed!

My blog lately is really slacking and I need to give it more time but I have not had the want or energy to write. Good luck with the future and I will still follow you on facebook.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07909496319072321333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996194193159757781.post-57733636910356936652009-10-06T00:26:06.290-05:002009-10-06T00:26:06.290-05:00I love your blog.

At least, that is not what I had picked up on from it.<br /><br />I felt that it was a place to share about your life, well sometimes to share and on occasion, vent.<br /><br />Also, I truly thought it was a lot about your family&#39;s experiences with a downs child. I have to say the posts about her triumphs are some of my favorites.<br /><br />And, the growing of a gaggle of girls ;-)<br /><br />I realize you have come to decide to move on about writing, but I will stick check back from time to time -- looking to see what is new in your life. ;-)Farmer*swifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06369013637299261668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996194193159757781.post-17050470758068002692009-10-03T17:42:32.018-05:002009-10-03T17:42:32.018-05:00Well, I&#39;ll echo what&#39;s already been said, you&#39;ll definitely be missed in the blogosphere! Glad we can keep in touch via twitter though :). And I&#39;m glad you&#39;ll be leaving the blog up even if not updating it anymore - there are some insightful posts here that I think people can benefit from who may not have come across your blog yet.

I get what you are saying about making a decision and then having immediate peace about it. Good for you. I will miss your blogging... something to consider... blog just for the fun of blogging and not for the &#39;career&#39; aspects. Whether you realize it or not, you are a writer. A good one at that. Sometimes the things we have passion about and are good at are NOT the things that are our profession... ya know?<br /><br />I&#39;ll keep your blog in my dashboard... with hopes that you will continue. But I&#39;ll keep a keen eye for your tweets. Hugs for you...Gracehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06993836063592770186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996194193159757781.post-38528241572116814852009-09-28T07:40:27.769-05:002009-09-28T07:40:27.769-05:00I think I am gonna cry! I love your blog and it&#39;s one of my favorites! Of course, if it brings you peace to give it up, I understand! However, you can do what I I&#39;ve been doing lately... Use it more of a scrapbook of your families life and not concentrate so much on the readers! I found it becoming more and more of a chore when I concentrated on others instead of just using it to highlight the fun times or maybe not so fun times with my family! Either way, glad your keeping twiiter and facebook open!Shannon @ Gabi's Worldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06489515190295297209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-996194193159757781.post-69160326488878629122009-09-28T07:35:10.174-05:002009-09-28T07:35:10.174-05:00No!
