There will come a time.»The star then went on to say how the trial and subsequent verdict is affecting them.«We did want to come on today and let everyone know that it’s a very sad, heartbreaking time for our family right now but we still hold steadfast in our faith and we trust that God will do what he does best because God’s a miracle worker,» Todd added.Julie then chimed in saying, «We're alive and kicking and we appreciate all the support we have received from everyone.»Todd said some of that support has included «tens and thousands of messages every day — from mail to gifts being delivered to our home to people delivering food.» He urged fans not to drive from far distances and that while the food, flowers and gifts are very much appreciated it's also very much not necessary, even though «it's a tough time right now.»As far as how the kids are taking this, Todd says they're doing as best they can during this tough situation.«A lot of tears, a lot of heartache, a lot of sorrow, a lot of trying to understand how this is where we are right now,» Todd said.
