..I'm an idealist...
..and when I found out the oldest daughter (in what I considered a 'perfect family') at our church was sexually active, I was disappointed.
...Her father was in a position to be mortified as he was headmaster of the Christian school...
..Eventually, even though against the parent's wishes, she married the guy and soon after got pregnant.
When my much older and long time married daughter had her preemie baby, this same young lady had hers at the same time, same hospital...and hers was a preemie too.
By that time her husband was in Iraq.
I would sit in NICU with my tiny granddaughter and daughter and could look across the room at the young girl, her mother and their tiny one.
Both of our families cared and loved these little ones.
Her family loved and supported their daughter, but she clearly was rebellious even though brought up in a loving and wise home.
They supported her through and during the pregnancy and absence of the dad...
..and later she moved with him to his home base.
They eventually had another child....and from everything I know, are happily adjusted.
The parents did not shirk their responsibilities, nor did they allow the daughter to shirk hers.
Having said this, people WILL deal with this news in their own way...
...those who have already started building the pedestal with Sarah on top may halt construction...
.. or they may build a better, more realistic pedestal
The Dems, for sure, will use every dirty association they can think of to drag this young girl and her mother through the dirt.
Governor Palin may absolutely be the best thing to happen to this country
... but that doesn't exempt her from the 'happenings' of life or the constant pressures from the enemy to trip her.
If we truly care for her and believe in her,
... we will hold her and her family in prayer...even more so.
Sadly, this time around, more than ever.
