Good Morning my Cruisin' Buddies!
Mary, I am so sorry to hear about your friend, Chuck. I remember hearing you talk about him and the band and know how much you will miss him. God Bless Chuck.
The other day I said that I wished I could say I had a good day and just couldn't. Well, my dear friends, I am asking you again for another long, long period of time to pray for our oldest Bob, as he has decided to extend him deployment in Afghanistan for another 6 months. He was already backed up until December 18th because he took his leave late in his first round so that he could come home and be in his best friend's wedding in Sept. So when he went back they told him he had to extend to Dec. 18 instead of Thanksgiving. Well, now he will still get two weeks off at Christmas, but instead of staying home, he will go back until June.
I can't tell you how upset I am! I am asking you to also pray for my sanity as I try to cope. I was so worked up and excited about his homecoming at Christmas, and now I may not even get a chance to see him then. After that, I won't see him again until June! It's practically unbearable - I feel so very lost. And somehow, surrounded by friends and family, I feel so alone. I don't know why - I just do.
So I'll ask you to all bear with me as I try to get back to my regular self. I want to keep posting to all of you because it may sound silly, but it helps! Don't know what I'd do without John and Gail - they are my glue right now.
Love to you all.
