I really hate to take one, but I need to.
I know you'll understand.
The Colonel leaves in 5 days.
5 Days.
He's home this week and I want to spend as much time as I can with him.
I'm about to do something I don't know how to do.
Say "Good-bye" to someone I love for a year.
I really could use your prayers.
I'll be back next Monday.
Thank you!

Please do thank the Colonel for his service. May God go before him and also keep your family safe in His care. You are all in my prayers, and I mean that.
My nephew, a 22 yr old Marine, leaves for his second tour in Afghanistan soon...his equipment is already on the way.
How are the kids holding up?
I feel so blessed to know you in the blogosphere and thank you for sharing your life.
Karen says
You both are in my thoughts and prayers. Have a great week together. Karen

God keeps that which we commit to Him. God bless the General (I know he's not a general, but he is in our books!). God bless the General's wife. I salute you both.

I almost forgot Lois, Native Americans will never say Goodbye because it is not in their vocabulary (Bear is Cherokee), they will say See you Later, Take Care but never Goodbye so don't say Goodbye, tell him you love him and you'll be right here. Okay, I'm sniffling now so gotta go....Take care, lots of good vibes being sent to you right now!
Nancy says
We'll be right here when you get back. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, the Colonel and your family. I just can't imagine....You take all that precious time and remember we are all hear for you!
