I was very sorry to see that you have stopped writing in DL. I stopped by to say thank you for the note and realized you are gone, I really wanted to thank you for the prayers and well wishes, I really appreciate it. If you ever begin writing again in any other place, I would love to know.

My pal, keep the password handy. It's only for a week that i gotta keep everyone locked out. I'm on a mission. They messed with the wrong female!

from stephielove :

I can't find your email address. Every time I open my email I try to email you, can't, and then promptly forget to do this to get your email address. Things are okay... hopefully improving. I unlocked it, in case you didn't notice (sorry for the confusion). Hugs (PS. I'm so sorry about the delay in homecoming! you must be tearing your hair out).

from nacwolin :

Wow! You go, girl!

from nacwolin :

Gosh, how I remember those "message" days...your entry brought it all back clear as day. {{Hugs}}

from nacwolin :

We are here; we'll be here, whether or not you are taking a break for a while.

from r-y-r :

Just wanted to thank you for your kind words, I know what you say is true, I just get so tired of fighting it off, its like a never ending battle and it doesnt help at all that every where I turn somebody is pregnant or just had a baby, I feel so incomplete and I feel like every month I am letting my husband, worst of all, I feel like maybe if this continues he will be better off with someone who will give him all he wants. I am sorry to bring this all down on you, didnt mean to burden you just give you thanks for your words.

from xnavygrrl :

Hi, I need your email addy so I can send you a username and password since I locked my diary.

from r-y-r :

Just wanted to take a minute of my day to say I hope you have a great day and that you can at the very least get a call from your husband on this Valentines Day.

from nacwolin :

Prayer offered for your friend's dad.

from rklessdriver :

I read back a few in your journal. Very level headed you are as to the deployment. I know how hard they are obviously. Belive me it never gets any easier, but sometimes the "little things" help make it seem so. The Vette for me is just one of those things. Anyway thanks for the read. Will

from r-y-r :

Thank you for the welcome, its good to know I was missed. I hope that things are well for you and that your husbands stay has gone well and he comes home soon.

from cosmopolitn :

Wow...I just read your last 2 entries and you truly state everything I feel... It seems as though most of the US do have short term memories when it comes to tragedy, for it seems that the generosity is short-lived... However, for those of us who have loved ones still at war and the consequences still being the same, we hold them and all of the other soldiers close at heart...The only way I see it is to make everyone remember why they are still able to go on with their daily lives, which is because of those who protect our freedom...My father, recieved the picture (for Christmas) of the Vietnam vet, who is leaning against the memorial with one hand and touching the reflection of his fellow soldiers he left behind...On the back he wrote: For those who fought and the lives that were lost in a battle that the protected will never know... People need to realize that freedom isn't free and even though the war didn't just start (and it isn't fresh in their minds anymore) or he or she may not have a loved one in Iraq, doesn't mean that it still isn't their duty to support the troops and not just with a faded yellow ribbon... You are so exactly right...

from stephielove :

One word: amen :)

from breathtaken1 :

You inspire me.

from breathtaken1 :

Thanks. I am already enjoying the Barbie iPod immensely. I am afraid I am going to wear out my ears! Happy New Year to you (and a belated Merry Christmas!)

from blueiceflame :

Hey. Merry late X-mas. Yeah, I'm stupid. ;)

from xnavygrrl :

It sounds like you had a decent Christmas. I know you miss your sweetie though, and that's hard to deal with, especially this time of year. I understand! Thanks for the note.

from pink-circle :

{Circle Invite} Hey, I've noticed you're shown interest in poetry. The circle is a writers group, and we would like you to join. If you are interested, check out the site, and leave a note to this account. Thank you for your time. ~Circle Council

from breathtaken1 :

Thanks for the nice note. It means a lot to me. I hope you are holding up better than it sounds in your diary! You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

from weaselgrrl :

Thanks for the note in my diary. I wasn't expecting that when I checked my email. :) I looked at your diary and it looks nice. I really didn't get to read it though because of the baby wanting my attention. LOL. But yeah, the whole deployment thing sucks. I'm counting down the days til my hubby is home on R&R. :) I promise I'll come back and read your stuff later. :)

from vibinghigh :

I am so touched by your entries, and I am keeping you in my prayers. My Dad was in the military, and my Mom had the job of keeping things going at home while he was gone. They are married 48 years, still very happily, and I believe that is due to their loyalty to one another and their ability to work together as a team, even when divided by many miles. Now that I am an adult, I can better imagine how difficult it was for them to be apart so much. Mom used to sit down with my sister and me and we'd make homemade calendars with pictures we drew for every month, and cross off the days until Daddy came home. I still have one from when I was about three. Anyway, I am rambling. I just wanted to say thank you to you and your husband (and all military families) for the sacrifices you make so that we all can live in continued peace and safety.

from stephielove :

I think Washington drivers missed that and other portions of drivers ed, too. Drives me mad. :)

from skibigsky :

Big hugs to you. I've never been through what you are going through, but my parents have - they spend many years with my Dad in hot, dusty parts of the world while my Mom was riding herd on three kids in the states, and while they both admit that it was very tough, they also attribute those experiences to maintaining their successful 43+ year marriage. Not much consolation, I know. My prayers are with you and your loved ones. Take care.

from vibinghigh :

Hi - Thanks for taking my food survey. I have never tried cream cheese and green olives on crackers, but I do make stuffed celery that way, and it's always a hit. Very addictive. Also, if you take a dill pickle and hollow it out and stuff it with cream cheese, then slice it, it's a great little appetizer.

from proudpisces :

My heart goes out to you hun. Seeing them pack has to be the most heartbreaking thing. I pray that this deployment goes quickly for you. I thought what he said to you was soo sweet. *sniff* I got all teary eyed. Thinking of you. Jenny

from stephielove :

I have come to understand that yes, friendships do come and go, and that no matter how hard I may try to stop them going, it always happens in the end. And through painful processes, I realize that friendships are a two way street. The only thing is, is it's been happening a lot lately. Am I growing up, or am I distancing myself? [minus the case of this last one, who knows what happened there]. You know what I'm saying? After I've lost so many, I wonder if it really is <b>them</b>. But, it will work out. It always does. You are in my prayers. Every time I read an entry of yours I'm taken back to when Nick left, I remember those emotions. If you ever need anything, I'm here.

from breathtaken1 :

I see you rewrote the earlier lost entry (referred to in my post below). You sound so sad. I would be too, and my heart aches for you. I know that you are very strong, and you will deal with this. And thank you for your support of your husband. I am sure that means more to him going wherever he is going than anything else.

from breathtaken1 :

I hate it when that happens. :)

from proudpisces :

Huge ((hugs)) to you. This is the hardest part. I hate the point before they leave. I know it is so hard to believe now but it does get a little easier with time. I know it's too early to even tell you that now. I'll be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. Jenny

from breathtaken1 :

You made me chuckle with your note. Thank you.

from proudpisces :

What a beautiful post. It brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for your brother. Jenny

from proudpisces :

Welcome back. I'm glad your Thanksgiving went well. Hang in there, and huge ((hugs)) to you. I hope the next few days pass very slowly for you. I'm here for you if you ever need to talk. I haven't wanted to bother you during the last of his leave. I want you to spend as much time together as you can. I just want you to know you've both been in my thoughts and prayers and I'm always here if you need me. Jenny

from breathtaken1 :

PS Have a nice trip!

from breathtaken1 :

Your modus operandi is exactly like mine! I have often wondered why I can't do things sooner. Why I can't do them as soon as I know that I need to do them. Why wait for the last minute? I am so efficient when under pressure and juggling a million things. When I have all the time in the world, I get so little accomplished. Why is that? I guess it is the I-have-plenty-of-time-to-get-that-done-I'll-do-something-fun-like-update-my-diary-first syndrome...
