Yes, I do believe there are angels among us.

Yes, I do believe there are angels among us.


A favorite coworker of mine was back from vacation yesterday so I popped up front to say Hi and welcome her back.

She had seen the cap and gown photos of my Middle that I'd posted on faceplace and asked if she could get one from me.

She and my Middle had developed a close bond when he was working with us and I knew it would mean a lot to her.

When she told me that she planned to keep it on her table with her 's photo, the one who had been killed in action while he was a marine, so she could pray from him every day, it touched my soul.

She knows just how emotional I have been through all this and has seen my cry on more than one occasion but she has been my rock.

She has actually taken the day off from work on Jun 7th, the day my ships out, so she and a few<b> military </font></b>moms that she knows can spend the day with me to help support me.

I truely believe she is an angel.

    It's good you'll have some support on that day. Even better that it's from those who have been through the same thing and understand how difficult it will be.
I am so grateful... I don't know if I could do it on my own.

    Yes, she's your angel. She and others, including people here, will support you. As a Mom, it's your duty to worry, so no shame in that. Sending hugs and prayers your way.
Thank you Fred. I really appreciate that.

I am SO thankful for that, too! I know I'm going to be a basket case when I drop him off.

I know the odds are slim, but I just can't help it. I think once everything is done and he has gone, it will be better. Right now I'm sitting here waiting for it to happen so it's consuming all my thoughts.

    Now I know why you are feeling the way you are about your son next adventure in life.
    My he be safe I'll pray for him and all other that serve.
    My nephew is a marine ,5 years in Japan. Goin to be finishing up in a few more with 20 years.
Her son died 4 years ago, the tank he was in hit a landmine and he suffered a fatal head injury. I have tried so hard, but for the life of me, I can't get that out of my mind.

    Long ago learned that "family" isn't just formed by blood. The best ones choose us and we choose them. Bless your angel and her big heart. Never can have too many prayers for our children.
I agree, we can never have too many prayers for our children!

She sounds like a proper good un McLade, it's always good to have people near by for support. Even if you don't fall back on them, it's just reassuring to know that they're there.

Here're a few wee cuddles from scotland for ye......
