Yes, ma'am. Thanks for keepin an eye out for me. <p>Nope! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] Didn't ask permission. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] Anyway, it's more FUN to ask for forgiveness than permission!!! [img]images/icons/cool.gif" border="0[/img] <p>The only EN's that will be met are good conversation and recreation with the girls. Relax, have a drink, enjoy good music. That's ALL. PROMISE. I'll even give you a FULL report Friday nite or Saturday morning for all my MB parents, k?

D,<p>It pains me to know that one of my dearest of friends is hurting. Not that all of us haven't and do everyday, but its those days that no one can even imagine what level of pain and hurt that YOUR felling today. Hey, we been talkin, chatin, emailin, laughin, cryin, and workin this MB thing for some time now. I hate that your on the other side of that hump that all of us DON'T want to be. I guess it would be selfish of me to say that I wish you were back on this side with the rest of us. <p>I know you have a strong heart, and I know you are going to make it through all of this, beautifully, decorated and gleeming with the brilliance of a true angel. <p>What comes to mind is a fog covered sea under a blanket of night, hallowing over a comfortable cove that once was home. When the storm came in, his ship took flight, for what he thought was fairer seas. His ship is tossed about in the tide of the sea. Blown off course, unable to read the charts of his own life, he sails alone. In the distance he hears the bellowing rumble of the horn that warns him of the jagged reefed depths below. Crying for and calling him to come safely home. It is frightful to him and he turns his helm for what he thinks is smoother gentler seas. Piercing the fog, the light that would have guided him home, flashes in the distance, and fades. Between the bellows of the horn that warns him of his fears, the light that attempted to guide him confused his navigation. The stars may seem brighter and his sails may seem fuller, but one day, he'll realize that all of his perishables are gone. In search of his way, his ship will crash on the rocks somewhere around that safe harbor that calls him home. When his feet are finally back on solid ground, the fear of the bellowing horn won't drive him away anymore, for the light that you provided him in the beginning of his journey, now will lead him to the comforts of home. As he walks closer and closer to the light that calls, the fog clears, morning has come, and in his midst a beautiful structure, crowned with an angels light, and a warm bellowing tone, stands firmly before him on solid rock, welcoming him home.<p>Just make him take a shower first [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>

Faith...
SO sorry to hear this news. Its the kind of end I know you weren't hoping or believing would happen. But God is right there watching over you, don't forget that. <p>Its funny how sometimes no matter how encouraging people are or what they say, nothing makes it better. The pain has to sort of, run its course. And you have been forced to ride that tide up and down so much over the past months.<p>I am so right there with you...be encouraged, we love you very much here and you always are there for me, so I am here for you now. Doing the only thing that I can, praying that God not only keep you, but now restore your marriage. <p>I haven't really talked much about it, but my parents were divorced when I was very young...they remained so for 9 years and then reconciled. They have been together ever since and their marriage is rock solid. It was torn apart by everything, infidelity, lies, anger, name it, but my mother never gave up and never stopped praying. Now that doesn't mean it takes 9 years, but God's timing is perfect! So be encouraged!!

Dear Faith, You are an extremely insightful and beautiful person whose posts always seem to reflect the most sincere heartfelt emotions. In a world where true morals and integrity appear harder to find, you help to restore "faith" that there are people that still seem to value those ideals. You are special. <p>I feel for your pain and pray that you will find comfort in knowing how many people care about you and wish you happiness, love and peace.<p>Thank you for helping me over and over and over...

May you spend your days getting closer to the mountain top than the valley.
