I agree with Ben that writing a book so soon after getting married/suffering the death of a spouse/coming off a divorce is a little premature especially considering it is a book giving advice on those situations.<br /><br />There will be struggles you all experience when the kids are teenagers, start asking more about their father, how you two deal with that, etc.<br /><br />But, with all that said, I hope I am not coming off as snide and rude. You guys appear to have great hearts, and you share your lives to help others in a way I just couldn't. I just married a widow, and I went through a nasty divorce like Steve. We don't have kids to deal with, but are focusing on creating our own stories/memories instead of telling our sad stories to each other and others. It takes people who are very secure in who they are to do the ministry you guys do.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-59515873913922645282013-01-18T09:02:20.683-08:002013-01-18T09:02:20.683-08:00I've been following Vee's blog for quite s...I've been following Vee's blog for quite some time, and now yours. I think you couldn't have said it any better Steve. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what people around you think. You and Vee (and your kids) are the only things that matter and how you live your life and love each other is the only thing that's important. My favorite part of your post "Ben, two words of advice... 1) don't ever marry a widow, and 2) if you ever think about marrying a widow, for the love of God please don't do it!"<br /><br />Proof that it takes a special person and an amazing man to marry a widdow. You're my hero Steve :)<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-84974656402575752732013-01-09T11:35:42.626-08:002013-01-09T11:35:42.626-08:00Amen!

Well said: What they don't understand is that mine and Vee's happiness is rooted in God, nourished with love, secured with commitment, strengthened through laughter, and blessed by a calling. For every critical, unkind, and insensitive comment there are many, many more that reaffirm that what we are doing is valid and helpful. And, as long as God gives us the outlet and ability we will share our love story with pride.<br /><br />Best to you, Vee and kids for a lifetime of love, health and happiness.<br /><br />glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01542197885599674975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-67631740171786531452013-01-07T15:43:18.233-08:002013-01-07T15:43:18.233-08:00by devoting such a large amount of written space t...by devoting such a large amount of written space to Ben's concerns, it kind of make you look like you are defending your situation. If you don't believe Ben's opinions have any merit, no defense is required. Just a thought. BTW, who's BEN? Where did he make this comment? Do you believe he's someone that you know? Vee made reference to negative comments rec'd on her blog and the worst part being that it was someone she knew. Is Ben someone that you know??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-74469387560574325132013-01-05T13:10:33.357-08:002013-01-05T13:10:33.357-08:00wow. great answer. well written. keep up the good...wow. great answer. well written. keep up the good work. blessings to you and yours. suznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-57858782723329700032013-01-04T13:06:00.514-08:002013-01-04T13:06:00.514-08:00My Son went to high school with Jeremy and I have ...My Son went to high school with Jeremy and I have had the priviledge to follow both your blogs, and your love story from the beginning while never meeting you face to face. You are both amazing people and have a knowledge of life well beyond your young years. <br />Do not be set back by the "Bens" of this world. Steve, you graciously took the time to answer Ben, now please do not waste your time nor energy on any furure blogs like his. Keep doing what you are doing. You are blessed! Share your blessings...and May God continue to bless you both in this ministry and raising your beautiful family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-59610265363146717172013-01-04T08:12:52.833-08:002013-01-04T08:12:52.833-08:00I would have to agree with Ben, here....you ARE th...I would have to agree with Ben, here....you ARE the bigger person. It takes a severely insecure person to be threatened by a dead man. Especially one who did nothing to deserve forgetting, and in fact, did so much to be remembered and honored. That's one of the MANY things I love about you - that you are man enough to carry the weight of my love for you both while understanding that there is no comparing the two of you. I love you both for so many reasons, and I couldn't have chosen a better man to spend the rest of my life with from this point forward. I know how special you are, and I'm so glad I had the privilege of finding you. So proud of you, baby, for standing up and shedding light into a dark and cynical world. I love you!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05819788859577010155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488576499799891055.post-76041788539874582152013-01-04T08:04:26.469-08:002013-01-04T08:04:26.469-08:00Very well said.

Clearly, part of that will be dealing with her emotions as a widow. We know that we're not going to read lovey-dovey kissy-face stuff here.

Your words inspire and comfort. You both have been such a blessing to me. I have read Vee's blog since before my husband passed away 15 months ago, and you both continue to bless my heart and give me hope. "...happiness is rooted in God, nourished with love, secured with commitment, strengthened through laughter, and blessed by a calling" -- all I can say is AMEN and God bless you both and your family. Thank you for answering your calling and being faithful to that no matter the misconceptions. I have never, ever commented on any blog before, but I felt compelled to thank you.
