Does anyone have the regular address where we can send things?  I have a flat package for Aaron.  Just email me.

I figured it had to be something like that.  If anything was wrong, we would know by now.  I can't wait to see him.  xoxoxo

Colleen I am so relieved to hear from you. I can only imagine how you feel. This was the port Christopher thought he would really get to enjoy, but as it turned out, he only had one day off to cram in sleep, laundry, and a few phone calls. I know there have been times when Christopher thought he would get an extra day, but because of maintenance, it never happened. Maybe something like that happened in Aaron's department. So his extra day that he thought he had, and was probably going to make his phone call to you, didn't happen. There hasn't been any out-going e-mail from the boat, so don't get discouraged in that area. We have not received anything from Christopher. Keep your Spirits Up!!! Before you know it, pretty soon, we'll be able to hear from them on daily to weekly basis. Deborah, how are you and your family? (((((  :)  )))))))!!!!  <3

I am doing fine, Susan, thanks for the concern.  I just wonder why Aaron didn't call this time.  He did use his bank account.  I am sure he is okay.  I hope you feel better soon.  Take care of yourself.  I teach a workshop this Saturday, so it's going to be a busy weekend for me.  I love you all.

Hi Ladies,How is everyone doing? Colleen, is everything OK? I am very worried that we haven't heard from you in a while. Please tell us you and your family are OK. I am sure you have been very busy. I have a birthday this friday, but I don't think we will do anything. I have to work the next 3 days, but the worst part is I just came home from my parents and I feel like I have a flu. I hope it's just allergies, or I am just extremly exhausted this week, but I really feel terrible. My parents don't really know how bad I was feeling, I had to put on my Game face so they wouldn't worry. I just took some NyQuill and I am going to bed. Deborah, please know we all feel for you. Love To You All

Yes, I am praising the Lord that our loved ones are safe.  My DIL is going to Hawaii first before she comes home and I am anxiously waiting to hear if she made it safely.  It is difficult grieving my mother but I did commit to my work today that I would try to go in on Thursday and Friday.  Today, we took the death certificates around to all the places they needed to go.  Tomorrow, my sister and I are meeting with our cousin that is making the memorial video.  There are so many things to do.  The good thing is my dad's sister is here to help with the taxes and the loads of paperwork.  Thank you for your hugs and prayers!

How is everyone doing? I am on my way to stay at my parents for a couple of days. Just want to let everyone know how much I am thinking about all of you. Deborah, is your DIL back in the US yet? How are you and your family doing with the loss of your mother. I know it must be very hard. Colleen, are you keeping busy so your mind is on other things. It's hard watching the news with all the devastation. It just makes us all so sad. I say everyday how blessed and thankful we all are that our son's or families weren't in that area. .Love to You All ((( ))).

Comment by Coke51 on March 12, 2011 at 8:20pm
Deborah, I'm so sorry about your mom.  I pray you will know God's love in a deeper way in this time of pain.  I send you my love and big hugs! I wish I could be there to  help you through.  Hi, Bonnie.  Welcome to the group!  My son's name is Aaron.  I haven't heard from him for awhile, but I know he must be okay.  Love to everyone.  Thanks for being here!
Comment by JerseySusan on March 12, 2011 at 3:03pm
Oh Deborah, I am so very sorry. I am at a loss for words. But I know how much it must have meant for your DIL to be standing right next to your son.Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. This has been a rough last couple of months for everyone. May your faith and hope give you the strength to comfort your loss.

I haven't heard from J or my DIL but her facebook page says her flight was delayed because it was routed through Tokyo.  Sorry I have been so silent, but my mother died early Wednesday morning.  She had been home a week from the hospital and my sister was staying with her and my dad.  It was sudden, she had a blood clot in each lung which I am told is a complication from surgery. Thank you for all your prayers!  Since J was in Singapore, I was able to contact him, and I am praising the Lord that his wife was with him when he got the news. God has a way of arranging these tender mercies.  We have watched the devastation of the earthquake and the tsumani on the news and it echoes the wounding of our hearts. I am so thankful for this group and all of you.  And Bonnie, welcome to the group!
