13 from 2013 {And Some of Your Favorite Moments}

She's got her own half dozen kids in this same state and I read her heart and love what I see there.  So she's hosting a link up, 13 pictures from 2013, and I'm taking a moment to look back.  Not just in pictures, but in words.  Words I wrote during the most desperate and difficult year I remember.  Words you read - words you shared.  Wow.  This girl's heart can hardly contain the wonder of people who reach out and touch through a computer screen - a hand to hold when the going gets tough.  It has been an incredible year in so many ways.

 So here we are.  13 from 2013.
