Thanksgiving…
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007I am extremely blessed. I don’t think I would have believed you if 5 years ago you had told me I would be expecting my second son with an amazing woman and an excited little brother to be waiting to meet him. I really enjoy my job. I love the community work i get to do. I’m truly happy and blessed.
Here’s week 10 of Cody’s experience. Seemed fitting to post this on thanksgiving. Remember those who are struggling just to have a place to live.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Cody is in Africa, working with an orphanage. The company she is over there with is TLC Ministries, who takes in newborn and abandoned babies in Africa. (more…)
About Sympathy Pain
The "Sympathy Pain" blog is a father's view of what is generally viewed as "woman only" territory, pregnancy. The blog also looks into the blended family and how a new addition affects that family. "Sympathy Pain" is not a battle of the sexes sight, but rather, an open forum for moms and dads.
