Catsmom,
Happy Birthday to Crystal!!! I understand not getting to celebrate holidays with our kids. Especially birthdays!!! You would think that with all the work we have to do for their "birthday" they could make sure we get to celebrate it with them!!!! LOL - I know, wishful thinking!!!!!
Bert,
Yes, we are all here for each other. You can talk freely here - we've all been there one way or another - or know someone else who has!!! It is a roller coaster ride. Hope you get plenty of opportunities to make those lasting memories with her before she leaves!!!!

Good morning,
Blondie, oh I know she is a lot younger than I am..LOL she wanted to get a dress to wear to the Ball, but was told by command they had to wear their dress Blues. She was on the planning commity and was a Bell ringer for the opening of the Ball. She said she would have rather not wear her uniform.
Jean, praying you don't need another surgery. Praying for your sister and daughters surgeries to go well. Happy you could be there for your girl and her dog. You never know what they are hearing. LOL

Good Morning to Everyone.
While I finally saw the doctor on my pain in the knee. I ripped a tendon in my knee. The doctor is going to get a MRI to make sure that is what it is. If it is surgery here I come again. My sisters surgery is Wednesday. My daughters is Thursday. Last night I spent it at my daughters house. Her dog was freaking out and it was making her nerves. Yesterday was the day my mom died in that house 5 +years ago. That didn't help her. So I stayed until her hubby came home from work. We never did figure out what freaked one of the dogs out. He finally calmed down about 1 hour after I got there.
