Good morning campers!!...
It's a big day for me today..my 25th wedding anniversary..the 5th anniversary of my Mums passing and the day hubby leaves for 6 months!! I am an emotional wreck and trying very hard to keep it all together till he leaves..we are dropping him off at the base at 5pm...we are planning on going out for lunch to celebrate our anniversary..the whole family went out for dinner last night....I can't get my mind straight to really write an entry but I did want to pop on here and mention my Mum...can't believe it's been 5 years already...still cuts like a knife...
Here's a pic of the old man and me...

Good Morning (((Lyn))) Happy Anniversary. I know it's a bitter sweet day for you, so I'm sending prayers that you find some peace this day.
Love, Diane
Lyn...I am sending you lots and lots of ((hugs)) and prayers today. I KNEW hubby was leaving on your 25th anniversary....but I didn't realize it was your moms anniversary too. I lost my dad over 8 years ago...and I still miss the heck out of him.
You WILL get through the next 6 months. We will keep you plenty distracted here....and on Myspace! I'm always just an email away too....anything you need (that I can do from here!!) just give a yell.
HANG IN THERE MY FRIEND!!! It'll be OK.
((hugs))

How wonderful to celebrate 25 years. I know this is a hard day for you with emotions being on a high level. Time does go by so fast and before you know it your hubby will be home again. It was 2 years in March since I lost my Mom and this June it will be a year since my Dad passed. Life just goes on and we try to do the best we can - one day at a time. 'On Ya' - ma
Happy Anniversary to you both ~ sorry it has to be bitter-sweet. 25 years? OH WOW! lol
... take the wonderful memories of your dearest Mum and bring them together with your wonderful Anniversary celebrations and send hubby off with ALL your love...
These 6 months will fly by (we always say that AFTER they have flown by) but I know on a day to day basis, it feels longer. Keep yourself busy (as you do already) and hubby will be back before you know it!
Big hug,
Millie x
Congratulations to you and your hubby. Sorry that he has to leave today and also sorry about your memories about your mom's passing. Just remember the good times spent with her. Helen
Happy 25th Anniversary Lyn!!!! That's a big one! Congratulations!!!!
I will keep you and your husband in my prayers that the time goes fast for you and him.
My mom died 10 years ago this past February and it seems like it was only yesterday - its so hard to lose your mom - she's the one that knows you better then anyone- she's Mom - nobody replaces Mom!
Lots of hugs!!!
Love,
Michelle

Congratulations on your anniversary. I am sorry there is also some sddnesss connected to the date, Losing a parent is so hard. My Dad has been gone 17 years now and i stilll miss him like crazy. (It doesn't seem so many years could have passsed already.) I admire your strength. I would be a basket case knowing my husband was leaving for 6 mo. I wish you all love and happiness.

What a very bittersweet day for you. If you don't "keep it together" I think all involved will be understanding of that. ~Mary

happy anniversary
Happy Anniversary, you look good together! Hang in there! I was a military wife once upon a time and I know how tough it is - but you are made of stronger stuff than you realize, you've done it before and you will do great! God Bless!
Oh Honey! My heart aches for you! Happiness and such sadness mixed up on the one day! Happy Anniversary - 25 years is an AMAZING effort now days! Extra prayers for your man right now too - going off again for 6 months - must be so hard for both of you. And then the anniversary of your dear Mum passing too. Enough to send a girl to drink....Hey.... there's an idea!!!! Seriously though, you are in my thoughts and prayers right now. I hope everything goes smoothly and 6 months will fly by!
Big Hugs

I hope all is ok.

Allison
Awwwwwww Happy wedding anniversary to you hon !!!!!!! Hugs Lisa
It hurts my heart to hear/see you write the words "it still cuts like a knife" about the anniversary of your mum's death. My mommy's been gone for 2 years and I am hoping this feelings gets better as more time passes. Happy Anniversary my dear and safe travels for L. Scary to be going back there again. I'll hold you all close in my thoughts. Love you honey.
Sweet picture of you two.. You'll get through this.. Odd that he has to leave during this time. It's been over 5 years since my dad passed away--seems like yesterday too--I know it's hard. Hugs - Julie
Lovely picture of you and the hubbie Lyn. I know I am late getting to this but I said a little prayer for you anyways on all counts. At least you got to have a lunch together to celebrate your anni before he had to leave. I dread losing my mum. She will be 76 on her birthday in July. She's my best friend. When I was a teenager I would never have thought that possible! Funny how that goes!
(((hugs)))

Love you!
Connie
Catching up here. Happy anniversary! I'm so sorry he's leaving right on the day. Sheesh! I'm sure you enjoyed the day with him, though.
Sorry about your Mom. Mine died in 1994 and you're so right....still stings a LOT!
Keep busy in the next coming months. It will fly by!
Hugs..Pam xoxox
What a lovely photo of you and hubby. What a shame he is leaving on your anniversary. The time will fly as long as you keep yourself busy...that is the secret. I still miss my mum daily. She has been dead two years and a day does not go by when she is not in my thoughts. I do not think you ever get over it. Keep your chin up. Love Conniexx
Your picture.... you two lovebirds look young, healthy, beautiful and wonderful and truly in love.... so sweet!! First of all Happy 25th woman!!! Way to go!!!! Now that is something to truly celebrate!! I know you must miss your Mum terribly but just remember she is with Jesus where there is no more pain and no more sorrow and she's up there waiting for you girl to join her. And do NOT worry above all else, your man is going to come back soon in a jiffy and this is all going to give you some great shopping and gardening and party time and it will fly by fast and we here your friends at AOL J Land we are gonna get you through this. Just keep thinking positive and praying for his safety really hard all day no matter what and above all else. You have a wonderful brave husband and it takes courage to do what he is doing and we are all indebted forever to him and men like him across this country right now. Just keep on praying for his safety everyday. I hope these strong words bring encouragement and congratulations and love and hugs to you all the way to beautiful Florida from beautiful Kentucky. Yes I still consider Florida beautiful LOL but I love it love it love it up here in Kentucky you know LOL. It's because this is like home to me being from the north. I'm a Yankee girl ya know LOL who has a bit of southern belle in her. KY is the gateway to the south and so I guess I'm right smack dab in the middle of it all now. LOL. Hugs,
Lisa
thats a lovely photo of you's, time certainly flies, he will be back before you know it leaving socks on the bedroom floor and hairs in the bath lol :) beckie x

I'm sure you had a beautiful anniversary, and are finding ways to get your emotional stability back lol which I'm sure you will. The pic is very sweet, speaks of people who are good friends before anything else. I know what you're feeling about those 5 yrs and Mum - for me it's 3 but I was shocked to realize I had to check - feels like she was just here yesterday. xoxo CATHY
