I'm late, but I'm here! I'm going to WDW right after you get back. Here's hoping we all have good weather and low crowds!

Kathy, I am so sorry for the loss of Markie's friends sister, we do not do enough for our military when they come home...too many stories like this and it breaks my heart.

Mary, LOVE the last photo update, I agree...those two never seem to take a bad picture!

 

[that's nice]

I'm still here reading... you are getting close here ms. kat.

Kathy how sad for Markie's friends family!!

How many days now ????

 

[MaryAz]

Just thought I would pop in and do my



6000th post on the DIS

How horrible. My heart goes out to you and the family.

I think we have no idea how US Service Men and Women deal with coming home and the adjustments. Too many stories like this I am afraid.

I am so sorry.

I'm with you Pat; I don't think anyone has a clue what these young men and women deal with after experiencing being in a country at war.

Oh goodness Kat, this is so very sad. How tragic and just awful for her family. If only someone knew that she was suffering, perhaps she could've been helped before it was too late. I'm so sorry to hear this and my heart goes out to you and her family. How is Markie coping? I think it's wonderful that the wrestling family is comforting and supporting this poor family too.

Thank you, Molly, for the hug. It has been such a sad, sad week; I can only imagine how awful the funeral will be on Thursday on that family.

I'm late, but I'm here! I'm going to WDW right after you get back. Here's hoping we all have good weather and low crowds!

I'm so glad you are here. When do you leave? Will you be doijng a TR? Let me know so I can join if you do.

Thanks, Cynthia. I personally think it is criminal how we treat our returning service men and women.

Very close...16 days (15 if we don't count today which is almost over as is evidenced by the fact that I will be in bed shortly!).

Kathy how sad for Markie's friends family!!

How many days now ????

Thanks, Rosie. Let's stick with 15 days...or 1 day over two weeks.

And you should be celebrating that we are just a day over two weeks. The girls surprise from Mr. Mark and Mr. Andy arrived today for me to bring with me.

Sorry it's been such a rough week for you, Kathy. If I've been quiet, it's basically because I don't always know what to say. "Sorry it's been a rough week" doesn't seem like enough, does it?

Good to know you and MaryAz (and company) will be together soon.

 

[PhoenixStrength]

I'm so glad you are here. When do you leave? Will you be doijng a TR? Let me know so I can join if you do.

I will be there February 11th to 19th. I will definitely be doing a TR, and will let you know as soon as I start it! Thanks!

Hello sweetest of Kathys, just wanted you to know that I'm already praying for tomorrow's appt. for Markie. I pray that God will give you all peace and answers as well and that He will take excellent care of your baby. Keep us here posted dear friend.

 

[marvali]

Me too, Glenn. I hope Mary has the camera ready when I arrive to meet them at the food court.



Thanks, Pat. I am going to try to do our "going home" update and then start working on my packing list.

As for our friend, it is such a sad story. Mark wrestled with Clayton since they were 10 years old, so we've know the family 13 years. Mark and Clayton are very close. Clayton's sister was in the US Air Force. She got home from deployment a few months ago. From what I understand, she committed suicide on Wednesday of this past week. I don't have a lot of details and no one seems to know why. Her mom and dad saw her in November and she seemed fine. The mother is besides herself; I am very worried about her. I will say that despite the fact that we all have our "favorite" wrestling team in Illinois and things can get tense and bitter between teams, the whole wrestling "family" has come out and support this family. If the wake is on Thursday, we will make the 3-1/2 hour drive to where they are from to attend the service (if it is Wednesday we cannot go because my DH has a show in town).

Wow Kathy, so sorry to hear about this! So glad I had a minute to drop in and check up on you! Sending lots of love, prayers and to help you get through this awful time! I know it has also been nerve-wracking having to continue to wait on finding out some answers about Markie! Hopefully you will get some encouraging news tomorrow! Love you my Friend!!!

I know that I don"t "know" the two of you as well as Kathy does. And I know you both are usually being funny and or being teased (Marv) But i wanted to thank each of you for being here and writing such thoughtful words. Both your posts were very touching to read. Thanks for being here.

 

[mommy2mrb]

finally got caught up....love all your plans! the girls (big and little) are going to have so much fun!


Kathy - continued P & PD for Markie, hope the test will come back with no issues!

 

[tinacaplan]

Kathy, hope everything's OK with Markie. Sending you lots of positive thoughts.

Mary, the girls are too cute. That one picture of the two of them with pink veils where they're looking away is just perfect. Congrats on your 6000th post!

And to both of you...YOU'RE GETTING SO CLOSE!!!

 

[MaryAz]
