I was a newlywed in 1979, when the local churches came together to host the showing of the series Turn Your Heart Toward Home. We did not have children at the time, but Dr. Dobson’s witty, scriptural advice and concern for the families of our country had me hooked. In 1982, when my first daughter was born, I began to seek out anything that Focus on the Family was producing. Even though my husband and I both had somewhat dysfunctional families growing up, I was determined to raise our kids in a Christian, loving home. My daughters both looked to Dr. Dobson when they began their families. Both have grown into productive, Christian women who are wonderful mothers. We now have 10 grandchildren from 5 years old to 16 years old. What a blessing to have a close family that continues to serve the Lord through the generations. I will continue to advocate seeking the sound wisdom from the Dr. James Dobson Family Institute. Thank you, Dr. Dobson. You will be missed!
