OK so my personality is someone tells me to not do something I have a hard time sometimes not to do. I told you micaela that I wouldn't watch that video and was ok. until the conversation came up about that video again.  So what did I do yeup I went and watched.  AND IT ACTUALLY WAS VERY NICE MADE ME SMILE NOT CRY.  WHAT A REMINDER YES SAD FOR FALLEN SOLDIERS BUT DID YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE PICS WERE AMAZING. To imagine my baby girl gets to see that and be a part of that is awesome thanks so much for sharing.....thanks again

Jen I love the idea of tic tac toe, I will send that off to my daughter in today's mail! Of course she will think that her mom has finally lost her mind as it will be following the great BC questionaire I sent to her yesterday...but it is sure worth it even if she just scratches her head, knows I am thinking of her, and puts down an X or an O.

Betsy: No dont apoligize the video itself is beautiful.....but definately emotional.....so I just recommended she not watch it since she is at work! hehe. It is a wanderful tribute to the U.S Navy, however it definately touches the soft spot in some areas so it is best to watch in the confort of your own home where you can weep and cry all you need to, because I agree, on Monday i cried literally all day. couldn't stop it. I didnt even go to work, but when the tears stopped i felt my chest a lot lighter :)

1stlove, just keep coming here when you need a smile, giggle or hug.  The ladies on here, will provide you with all of those.  Everyone on here knows exactly how you are feeling.  You will have good days (letters arriving and phone calls) and hold onto those.  I would reread my sons letters and smile every time I did.  It is very normal to cry.  KariAnn is right on the mark, keep your letters encouraging, funny and hopeful.  That's what kept me going.  I agree, not a good day to watch that video and I apologize that my timing for posting it wasn't very good.  ((hugs)) to you.

1stlove I am so sorry you are having a bad day! I hope that you can take the time that you need to let it out. I look at the above time ticker every time I log on and absolutely feel a little better knowing that the time is counting down. It is the little things that I still just fall to pieces on. I keep writing and writing and writing sending funnies, and love and praise. Hugs sent your way!
