Dear Lord, I ask that you watch over Amber as she goes through surgery next week. Guide the surgeons hand Lord, give her a speedy recovery. Lord I also ask that you watch over her family. Give them a sense of peace that you are with them also, on this day, and every day. I ask this in your precious name, Amen.

Congratulations!! 57 posts and found your love! I'm jealous, you need to give the rest of us some tips

Just wanted to check in on Anna and see how she is doing? I continue to pray for her complete healing! She has to be one very special lady, having you as her mother!

Prayers for you and your dad, may He grant you both the peace that you need at this time.

Thank you I'm looking forward to seeing at least some of those things, once I get there. Should be soon!!

That's not the answer! Divorce is not the answer for everything. Melinie, I don't know your whole story, but just from what you have said here it sounds like you are going through a lot. There are different circumstances for different people. I, myself, don't believe in cheating, but I can sure understand your frustration! Good luck to you in whatever decision you make.

Thank you, Robin, for stopping by. And you are so right...my sons and my daughter in law are my heroes, along with everyone else's son's and daughter's that are in our military, no matter whether they are stateside or overseas. I love and respect every one of them.

(((62))) Sending you big hugs and strength to get you through the day.

Thanks, everyone, for checking in on the threads and showing love and support for our military! The troops really appreciate it and so do I!!

((Nessa)) Apparently the rules have changed regarding sons serving at the same time. And husbands and wives for that matter. My son and daughter in law were over there at the same time in 2007/2008, that's why I was in Arkansas keeping the kids for them. It's hard on everbody involved. The parents are overseas, the children are still here. When the children are so little they don't understand where mommy and daddy went. I told them that they were working far away, but that was a mistake. When they finally came home and had to go back to work on base, their youngest freaked out when they told him they had to go to work. Poor little guy thought they were going to leave him again! Thank God for technology though. My kids got to see their kids open their presents on Christmas morning over the computer webcams!! And their children got to wish them Merry Christmas! Not the same...I know, but better than nothing.

Suzanne...I just saw this post. I'm getting used to them sending them over. I don't like it...not ONE bit, but have to continue to be positive and support them like always. I agree with you that the war has to end, and it can't end fast enough for me, I can only imagine what our soldiers feel like. I have to say though that out of my youngest son's (OJ) six tours, he volunteered to go over for two of them, so that someone else in his group could stay home. One of his guys wives was due to have a baby and was having difficulties, and I can't remember the reason for the other, but it was equally important to him that they be able to stay home. I'm scared and concerned for him when he is over there, but am so proud at the same time.

Sending love and hugs your way Suzanne

Love and prayers for al our men and women serving for our freedom!!

((62)) Prayers for your dad, you and the rest of your family during this time. I would also like to add that when my children were young and there great grandfather passed away I asked our preacher to talk with the young children because they were confused about death. To make a long story short he told them that bodies are like a cocoon and our soul lived in this cocoon until we died. Then we became a beautiful butterfly and our soul came out of the body and went to heaven. Your dad will be the most beautiful butterfly you have ever seen. God bless you!

fine thank you, but wanting to get this move over and done with.

Absolutely do!!

Dear Lord, Protect them, keep them safe. Let them feel comfort and peace. Amen

Hi ShadyLady, your profile looks good to me. Take care, Welcome and fun in the forums. You get to meet a lot of good people that way.

Am moving to Washington in a couple weeks. Have to be close to Ft. Lewis. Are there any "country" places to live not far from there? Anywhere where the houses are not right on top of each other??

I mean Brett I wanted to change it, but it won't let me edit for some reason.
