I allowed him to go, for I had no choice.
I am no stranger to opinions with no voice.
I smile for every conversation...
Give support with no reservation.
I hold my head up proud and high...
With every question I hide the urge to cry.
They ask how we are all doing...
Reply with fine, am I fooling?
The time grows near...
A time to lessen fear.
Then comes the communication...
Extension of time for serving your nation.
My sorrow is difficult to hide...
I must admit I cried.
There is love, pride, and today frustration...
As this Air force wife stands by for further direction.

Still waiting for my airman to come home!
Praying for a safe return and soon.
Please no more extensions!
Much love and grateful blessings!

Will I Live to Be 80?

I recently picked a new primary care physician. After two visits and
exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing "fairly well for my age".



A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking
him, "Do you think I'll live to be 80?"



He asked, "Well, do you smoke tobacco or drink beer/wine?"
"Oh no," I replied. "I'm not doing either."



Then he asked, "Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?"
I said, "No, my other Doctor said that all red meat is very
unhealthy!"



"Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf,
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?"



"No, I don't," I said.



He asked, "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?"



"No," I said. "I don't do any of those things."



He looked at me and said, "Then why do you give a shit if you live to be 80?"

I have obviously had to much spare time today...or to much in my head to let it stay there. I have spent the last little bit reading other blogs some are horror stories with healing...some inspirational...some just bizarre. I have to be grateful today that God has delivered me everytime I have been in a situation I needed out of. Sometimes more on his time than mine. I am sure there are many things in my life I would probably never want to experience again..but all things I did experience made me the person I am today. A person who has regrets...a person who loves deeply...a person who is honest even when it hurts...a person mostly sure of herself...a person with respect for things I do not even understand...a person capable of growth and life and love.
Words are powerful things no matter what the purpose...to hurt to heal to inform...use them wisely! Grateful blessings!
