Hello everyone, missed you all. (I have been lurking a bit)<P>Today marks seven years of marriage for my wife and I. Things are going about as well as can be expected for me. We find out in seven days what the sex of the baby is...I'm nervous. <P>I leaned over the bed this morning to kiss my W bye as I left for work, as I did she smiled and told me happy anniversary. She then thanked me for staying with her and allowing this day to roll around once again. Needless to say, this made me feel good. Although it is not I who she should thank, but the Lord above, it made mt heart feel that much better.<P>We have been going fairly ok, considering the eggshells and all, but not what one would really want permenantly, until the other day. Since then things seem to have changed, she has become very loving and she is really starting to show some affection.<P>Would you like to know why? I received an email from SHA, she read it before I got home (I found out later) While she has not mentioned what was in the email it has evidently had a tremendous effect on her. My point? Even when we are not trying, you are affecting someone, somehow.<P>Prayers to everyone, stay humble and in God's will.<P>Paul<P>PS. Email change...pmoyers2@hotmail.com <P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.<P>

Hi, Paul. Good to see you back..Want to know a coincidence? Today marks eleven years for us....Things not going quite as well as for you, but once in a while a little daylight peeks thru the night.<P>I'm so glad things are improving for you and your W. You certainly deserve it. Maybe SHA should send all of our spouses an e-mail....<P>Take care my friend...<P>--DeWayne--

NOW I DO!!!!!!<P>Hugs & Kisses,<BR>TCF<P>------------------<BR>If you have a special occasion, or see someone here who could use a card... please e-mail me at card_fairie@hotmail.com. <BR>Hugs & Kisses,<BR>TCF

Paul, <P>I'm a seasoned lurker and a rare poster. I have followed your story from the start and always found your posts very insightful, honest, and encouraging. I have missed you here at MB. I have also followed SHA's story and I have to say I miss his presence too. I think it is great that you guys are emailing one another. In reading many of the posts here, I have seen many folks maintain contact with a few people even after they leave the board. I think that is esential in recovering. <P>I'm glad to hear you are doing well and your wife is becoming more affectionate to you. I have to second Heartpain's idea that SHA should send all of our spouses an email. <P>Fool No More<p>[This message has been edited by Fool No More (edited January 07, 2000).]

Hi Paul,<P>Good to hear some upbeat news from you!!!

Paul,<P>HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! <P>Roll Me Away<P>------------------<BR>"Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things in which smiles and kindnesses and small obligations, given habitually, are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort."<P>Sir Humphry Davy<BR>

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<P>Let us know about that baby.<P><P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<P>

Happy Anniversary <P>------------------<BR>di<P>

Happy Anniversary!

For clarification purposes, the email was to me. She was going to send an email and when she opened the email reader it popped up and she read it. My point was that even though dear ol SHA didn't mean to, he had an affect on my W. Fortunately it was a good one! <P>Heartpain: Sometimes it's those little peaks of daylight that reminds us there is something that we're fighting for. If not for those where would allot of us be? Thanks<P>TCF: Cheater! <P>Fool No More: Even after leaving a board such as this (temporarily) people need to here words of encouragement. I have maintained contact with several people while away, (you know who you are), they all have been a great help. Plus you just proved that even a lurker has something to say every once in a while!<P>K: Doing better, upbeat. Still awaiting the "day". I'm sure you understand.<P>RMA: Thanks.<P>Samantha: Thank you and you'll know when I do! <P>SDS: Happy, Happy. Thanks.<P>No Trust: Ditto.<P>------------------<BR>1Co:2:4: And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:<BR>1Co:2:5: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.<P><BR>
