Each of her married children have made her proud. They are good Kids. Some are raising their children to watch some tv. So what. Some may not have as large of a family as their mother. So what. Alyssa is doing nothing wrong. Her gown is still modest. She is a good wife and mother and that is all that.really matters. She lives by the biblical teachings she was raised in. She has very devout in laws. She has a great guy.
