It was a tearful goodbye, as we had a great time together. It was great to spend time with her, and she was such a help and encouragement to all of us as she pitched in with household chores, meals, bedtime routines, errands, getting the children to and from school. etc.
It was a difficult goodbye, not knowing whether we will see each other again - a thought that was unspoken but certainly shared.
Here is Ann, below, enjoying a moment with our younger son.
As I have mentioned before, I am thankful to God for blessing me with a wonderful family - two parents, two brothers, and two sisters who love me and care about me.

Dear Mr. Bond,
You likely don't remember me, but I was one of your students at the Walker school, probably over 10 years ago now. I heard about your blog through a classmate of mine. I'm so sorry to hear about your illness. I wanted to let you know that you made a great impression on a lot of us middle schoolers back at Walker, and we will keep you in our thoughts. May you and your family be blessed.

Jim,
Not unlike Fiona below, I doubt you remember me, but I too was a student of yours in 7th grade science at Walker. I find your story touching and what you are doing for your children courageous. I wish you and your family only the best.
Regards,
Bruce Thomson
I’m glad you people have the enthusiasm to passionately comment on this page. My mom is really getting into my nerves so I can’t be as passionate as you people are. Maybe I should ask her to attend a family blessings seminar with me.
Sorry for getting a bit off-topic here but I need to let you hear this out. I do not like how people treat marriage vows these days as if it’s just another walk in the park. That is why I urge everyone to join Covenant Marriage Seminars to let you see that divorce does not solve your marriage problems. Thanks for the time!
