One Good Thing Though  My husband drives an 18-wheeler; out on the road for two weeks or longer, only home for a couple days and each time, I must be stronger. I sleep alone, I wake alone, only thinking of his touch- sometimes just breathing hurts if I let myself think too much. I ponder death and memorize all the things I need to say- we both have so much love for giving; I learned to miss him while he's still living and I will... until... my dying day. Never miss a chance to tell the ones you love how much they mean to you and how much you miss them when they are gone, even if they only went to the store. |

thanks to you three ladies and James  For sure I am so glad he's not in the war! My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of those who are serving. |
