his just cant be right i had the perfect life a wonder husband and three beautiful children until my world was shattered on feb 21, 2009. I was finishing up a birthday party for my oldest daughter when there was a knock at the door there stood two men in there formal uniforms from the army it never crossed my mind what i was about to hear i thought they wanted to recruit someone so thats when i said my husband is already in thanks anyway before i knew it they were telling me who they were and that they were there to see me. they came in and proceeded to tell me that my husband of ten years was shot in the head the night before and died on the operating table in baghdad iraq. all i remember was my friend's husband helping me off the floor and telling me to go sit down after that everything is blurry i just remember thinking this couldnt be happening my husband knew his job and knew it well. Now at the age of 30 years old i'm faced raising my children alone age's 6 yrs. 3 yrs and 15 mths. I"m not sure how to do this but each day has passed and i'm realizing i am doing it with the help of God and the few loving friends i have

 | Posted Oct 10th, 2009 at 2:01AM I was a young widower on the 15th of May 1986- Now Im an old (widower) @ the age of "55" since May of 1986. The ony change is; my kids are now grown & now have kids of their own. My suggestion...?; "trust in your faith". It dont matter what that faith entails- because regardless of what faith you follow; you will always meet God according to your own ability to "understand"- so, you are on the right track regardless of anybody elses "opinions"...;) +2 nods |
 | Posted Nov 4th, 2009 at 5:26PM I could never begin to express what I felt when I read your story. I will leave these words with you quoted from a letter writin to Mrs. Bixby many years ago. May God bless you dear. "I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln." |
