Dear Lord, I pray for Suzanne that you will bring her a sense of peace in knowing that You are watching over her son and that You will bring him safely back home into her waiting, open arms. Amen

My thoughts are still with youflowerforyou


thanks whisperflowerforyou Now if I can just get a job, I won't feel so nervous about the move. But then again...the beginning of the year, if not before, we will be doing it all again. My son finds out around the 15th of November where he is going to be stationed, and we will all be moving again. Your thoughts and prayers are really appreciated.flowerforyou flowerforyou

My grandson has a follow up appt. for his surgery today and she was going to have to take the other two out of school, had I not been here. I'm going out looking for work today.

Warrior smokin drinker smokin

I never wore the uniform,
no medals on my chest.
The band it doesn�t play for me,
I am not among �the Best.�
I do not march in cadence,
I do not rate salute,
I stand among the silent ranks,
our devotion absolute.

If you�ve not worn my shoes,
you do not know my story.
I live a life of sacrifice,
my reward a private glory.
I�ve wept many silent nights away,
and I�ve kept the home fires burning.
I�ve worried and I�ve waited,
as world events were churning.

I�ve moved more times than you could fathom,
left more people than you�ve known.
I�ve planted gardens �round the world --
Very few that I�ve seen grown.
I�ve grieved with new-made widows,
and had my share of scares --
when a ship or plane or man was down,
and all I had were prayers.

I�m not asking for your sympathy,
(although appreciation can be nice)
I did it quite on purpose though --
I chose to sacrifice.
I�ll tell you a secret now,
one you�d never guess.
About the one glory that is mine,
it�s just enough � no more, no less.

When you and I stand together
as our national anthem plays,
I�ll fill with reminiscences
of how I spent those days.
I�ll know the pain and joys again,
I�ll know that freedom isn�t free,
I�ll know I�ve helped to pay the price �

and that the anthem plays for me.

flowerforyou hi there Whisper, Dear flowerforyou


I never saw your post, Honey, frown


other wise i would have stopped by for sure...:heart:

i have so much going on drinker

i am not online that much these days noway





but thank you soo much ..i did watch it ...drinker

and i am so thankful that you care blushing

& have a heart for our troops :heart:


and i wish that more people did :cry:


Thank you for watching hun.

I have been writing three soldiers now for almost a year. I do not know them, and may never meet them, but at least they know that there is people out there that do care.


whisper, I wish more people were like you. It is so hard for these men and women to be away from their families. They really enjoy receiving mail of any kind when they are overseas, whether they know the person or not. When my son is overseas and I send him mail, I send another card for him to give to a soldier who has no one. Or if I send him a package I make sure I send doubles of everything so he can share.

Wonders if I do have what it takes to be an Army significant other when the Soldier is deployed. Sigh.
