It's so sad to think, it's over

Long before they were on TLC, I heard about a small family who were going to welcome 6 little bundles of joy into their lives all on the same day.

I'm like most who were pretty critical of them bringing 6 lives into this world and not having any idea how they would afford all of them.  I thought boy, they are crazy.  They could have aborted a few of them.  They knew what they were getting into.

Then those 6 bundles of joy arrived and their lives got busy and they worked on being a family.

Within a few months of them being born, I got to meet one parent and later shortly before they moved, I got to meet the other parent.

Both were very nice, very polite and neither were snotty.

Then they become stars...

and well that seems to be where things started to fall apart.

I have sat faithfully for the over a year now and watched those little ones grow up.  I've purchased their dvds to cath those shows that I have missed.

I feel like if I ran into them on the street, I would know exactly who they are and what to say to them.

Now tonight, rumor has it, it's coming to an end.  The happy family, those beautiful faces that don't know pain, all shattered. 

Do I believe anyone is more at fault then the other?  No.  I think it takes two to make a marriage go bad.  It takes two to make a marriage good.

Doesn't mean that both party are aware of what's happening.  There are so many families that have been torned apart where one party had no clue until one day bam, but they are just as much at fault as they other party.

No, the announcement hasnt' been made, but it's coming and I feel so sorry for everyone involved, but I feel even worst for those sweet little faces.  The eight that are innocent in it all.

I want to sit here and cry for them.  For their whole lives to be put on tv like this, in all it's horrible glory is so wrong.

I just pray that after this announement, that those of the media who keep saying over and over that they feel for those kids, will just step back and let it go.

If you've never heard this song, it's pretty powerful.  It's written for Brittney Spears but it could be for anyone

i didn't listen to the song but i will a little bit later.. i know what your saying though.. i hope the announcement is that they're going to go to counciling or something. I don't want to see the pain on a childs face of their parents splitting

it was so sad... i kept praying all day that they were going to announce that they were cancling their contract and were going to work on their marriage...  it is so hard to watch a marriage fall apart when you know what is wrong... they are not leaning on God and each other, they are only in it for the kids.... so painful!!!

I was sad to hear they were seprating, because I had a feeling it wasn't just that it would be divorce. I was hoping that they had decided to cancel the show and work on their marriage. I guess it goes to show you that, it takes two to make the marriage work. I just hope the media leaves them alone now.

i was actually hoping that the annoucment would be they are not going to be continuing the show to work on their marriage. i felt so bad for the both of them not to mention those 5 little girls and 3 little boys. i'm just hoping that they make this work and come out on top. hopefully now the paparrazi will stay away from them. i just hated to see all those children being photographed by them like they were animals in the zoo. i wish them all the best.
