Well, jjames001, your post touched me. I've two sons around your age. If you didn't live so far away, I'd invite you over for a good pot roast, with mashed potatoes and gravy and fresh warm bread.
I'm sorry you missed out on some good meals. I think evening meals are so helpful in helping people connect at the end of the day. I guess no one has everything. Some kids have great meals, but never stepped inside the church or heard the gospel. It seems for all their problems, your folks got the most important thing right. All you can do is to try to start a new tradition when you have your own kids. There's a special joy in that, too.
Like I keep telling my kids, we're not in heaven yet.

lol yeah i'd like that. Not getting much of one thing makes you appreciate everything else much more.
