In fact, I love your children, though I've never met them. ;o)<BR/><BR/>I think you're right about this troll. The "devaluing" of human life could be the very reason the trolls best friend is likely a dog, which is okay, if that's what works for them. BUT they shouldn't lash out at others who love others, their children, and people who love and appreciate life like you. I pray that this person lets go of their hate so they can receive the joy of life. <BR/><BR/>"Hurt people, hurt people" is never more apparent than in this posted comment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-75568803555571007602008-09-17T00:26:00.000-04:002008-09-17T00:26:00.000-04:00All I can say is I'm glad I was late - I didn't se...All I can say is I'm glad I was late - I didn't see the post - good thing.Kimbra Kaschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955657301998255029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084311190804567808.post-40292532315312725972008-09-16T19:51:00.000-04:002008-09-16T19:51:00.000-04:00Awww, I love your kids!
